THE investigation

Thank you~ I had intended to say OMISSION...

Which one should I say?:

-Because of a/the poetic licence, poems could exceed the boundaries of grammar without being accused of being wrong.
-Because of (NO THE) poetic licence, poems could exceed the boundaries of grammar without being accused of being wrong.

No THE.

Thank you~

============================
Is it optional to use THE?

-We have to celebrate (the) Chinese New Year.
-We have to celebrate (the) Lunar New Year.
-We have to celebrate (the) Chinese Lunar New Year.

Yes, I'd say it is optional, and also that I prefer those without.

We always write Christmas and New Year without the article (the), so I prefer the Chinese ones to be treated the same.

I'm a bit unsure, though, over the Lunar ones, since they are rather unusual.
I think if you used "the" in those cases, it would not look at all odd.

Thank you~
=============================
Which one is correct/wrong?:

-The teacher will upload the videos onto/into (the) Blackboard.

BLACKBOARD being the name of a website used for sharing files among groups of students.

Either is okay

-The teacher will upload the videos onto Blackboard.
or
-The teacher will upload the videos into Blackboard.

I prefer the second one.

Thank you~ But is there any special reason to prefer INTO?

First, it's a board, a flat thing, at least theoretically; second, you would only say ON FACEBOOK, never IN, referring to things online; then why IN for BLACKBOARD particularly?

That's a good question.

You write things on (to) a blackboard.
You load things into a computer programme.

But it's true that we say, we "saw it on Facebook". I think that's because we are thinking of the screen of the VDU.
We say "on TV" for the same reason.

Thank you~ Do I need THE when referring to vocabulary in general?

-With inventions of things, we need to add more words to (the)Japanese/Chinese/English vocabulary.

This is quite a nuanced topic. Some examples might help:

We need to add more words to the language.
It was translated from German.
It was translated from the German language into Japanese.
My Japanese vocabulary is not extensive.

(note: "vocabulary" is more a personal thing. Every person has a slightly different vocabulary, as does each specialist subject.
In general, use "the language" or "the dictionary")

So: We need to add more words to the Japanese language.
Or, alternatively: We need to add more words to Japanese.

Thank you~
=========================
What difference would THE make?

- A similar convention is used in (the) summaries of narratives.

OF seems to require THE, but I have sometimes seen THE nonexistent.

No real difference in that example.


"- A similar convention is used in (the) summaries of narratives."?

I think it 's largely a matter of style.
A similar convention is used in some summaries of narratives
A similar convention is used in most summaries of narratives
A similar convention is used in all summaries of narratives
A similar convention is used in summaries of narratives

Thank you.
==================
Experiment done.
-In contrast, in surface dyslexia, an individual retains the naming of nonwords but not words. Even very common words were difficult for these patients. Moreover, (the) pronunciations of words were regularized so that glove is pronounced as if it rhymed with cove.

Does THE make any difference?

It makes no real difference.
However, since this is a scientific paper, it would not be a surprise (and it would not be wrong) to see it included.

Thank you~
===============================
-Harsh weather has not relented in England. Here's critical advice for the masses living in (the) southern parts of England.

This SOUTHERN PARTS has never been mentioned in the context. Do I need THE? Vacillation appears because of the existence of OF, which preposition often entails THE.

Yes, you need the, WB. It describes specificity and it is always (?) used with this.

Thank you.

As a general remark, is THE optional?:

-I need to get (the) information on tomorrow's weather.

When it simply means I'll have to check online tomorrow's weather conditions.

WB: Thank you.

As a general remark, is THE optional?:

-I need to get (the) information on tomorrow's weather.

When it simply means I'll have to check online tomorrow's weather conditions.

///////////

POSSIBLY, a situation exists but everything about this example points to, illustrates specific.

Now if you said,

I need to get information on weather.

OR

I need to get information on weather patterns.

But as soon as you begin to specify THE becomes as natural as horses shitting in the fields.

Thank you~ Which one should I say in a news report?

-(THE) Temperature(s) in Tokyo has/have gone down.
-I listen to (the) BBC News, so I know a lot about BBC English.
