"Introduction to" vs "Introducton of" #1 (permalink) Wed Aug 15, 2007 5:28 am   "Introduction to" vs "Introducton of"
 

Hi

Until today morning I was convinced that “introduction of” would be wrong in any context.

There can be “an introduction to newly appointed staff” but there cannot be “an introduction of newly appointed staff”, but the results from Ms Google really baffled me.

http://www.google.com.pk/search?hl=en&q=%22introduction+of%22&meta=

http://www.google.com.pk/search?hl=en&q=%22introduction+to%22&meta=

I would like to know how “introduction of” sounds to native ears. Is it commonly used on your side of the pond?

.
1-- A is introduced to B.
2-- There is an introduction of A to B.

These are synonymous.

Does that help?
