How to use specialize in a sentence?

  1. Thor Halvorssen:

  2. Larry McMurtry:

    We’ve been around almost 50 years. We call ourselves the Texas auction. These are the stories and the land and objects that we specialize in, it’s a huge, huge honor.

  3. Michael Watkins:

  4. The Times:

    Ms. Brown described herself in an interview as a government contractor — ‘almost like a broker,’ she said — who does not keep employees or specialize in any field but is able to procure subcontracted work as needed, and get a cut of the money along the way. She claims a fashion line and has several self-published books, and describes herself on Twitter as ‘A Diva, Mogul, Author, Idealist with scars to prove it,’.

  5. Annabel Kim:

    I am interested in feminist writing and theory, the novel…and the ethical and political implications of writing and reading fiction, while I specialize in 20th- and 21st-century French literature, I have a soft spot for literature from the 18th and 19th centuries, despite the myriad ways it has of killing off its women.
