Fortunately,

   Periphrasis is the putting of things in a round-about way.  "The cost may be
   upwards of a figure rather below 10m#." is a periphrasis for The cost may be
   nearly 10m#.  "In Paris there reigns a complete absence of really reliable
   news" is a periphrasis for There is no reliable news in Paris.  "Rarely does
   the 'Little Summer' linger until November, but at times its stay has been
   prolonged until quite late in the year's penultimate month" contains a
   periphrasis for November, and another for lingers.  "The answer is in the
   negative" is a periphrasis for No.  "Was made the recipient of" is a
   periphrasis for Was presented with.  The periphrasis style is hardly possible
   on any considerable scale without much use of abstract nouns such as "basis,
   case, character, connexion, dearth, description, duration, framework, lack,
   nature, reference, regard, respect".  The existence of abstract nouns is a
   proof that abstract thought has occurred; abstract thought is a mark of
   civilized man; and so it has come about that periphrasis and civilization are
   by many held to be inseparable.  These good people feel that there is an almost
   indecent nakedness, a reversion to barbarism, in saying No news is good news
   instead of "The absence of intelligence is an indication of satisfactory
   developments."
