Learn English – Antonym for “recommendation”

antonymssingle-word-requests

The context is a template for a wiki page, specifically in a line of instructions for page authors to complete:

Summary of findings, recommendations or anti-recommendations for implementation or further study, …

I suppose I could say:

… recommendations for or against implementation or further study …

but as I was writing it, I wondered whether there might be a way to rewrite this to conjoin the nouns instead of the prepositions.

I see this question for the verb form: Antonym of "recommend"

Best Answer

I don't believe there is any antonym for recommendation that would be followed by for. So in any case you'd have to conjoin nouns and prepositions.

For example:

  • recommendations for and discouragement of...
  • recommendations for and criticism of
  • recommendations for and opposition to
  • recommendations for and disapproval of
  • recommendations for and condemnation of

I believe recommendations for and against works best.
