Unattended/Unattended to?














1















I don't understand why we use "unattended to" instead of "unattended" in these examples.




1-Is a gunman 20 years-old simply a troubled youth who got overlooked
and unattended to?



2-Shell, says the report, claims to be a good neighbour, but leaves
oil spills unattended to.



3-Please do not leave your luggage unattended.

    Because they have different meanings. Attended to means "actively looked after", and Unattended to similarly. It doesn't say anything about whether there was somebody there, but it says that if they were, they didn't do whatever was needed. Unattended means "left alone".

  • if it is unattended then it is probably unattended to as well - but not necessarily, because attend to does not necessarily require presence. IN some cases (probably not the ones in your question) it is possible to attend to something (do what is necessary to look after it) remotely; but it would then still be unattended. Really, they don't overlap.

Unattended is the complement of attended, and by the same token unattended to is the complement of attended to. To attend to something means to give it attention, to look after it, resolve it, clear it up, etc. as appropriate.



Thus, something that is not attended - does not have someone with it - is unattended, while something that has not been attended to is unattended to.



The "troubled youth", the question ponders, might simply not have been given the care that would have helped him. Shell doesn't clean up their oil spills, one quote alleges. The last one simply asks you to keep your luggage with you.

    If you look at https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/attend , you will see a list of definitions under "transitive" and another list under "intransitive". "transitive" means it takes a direct object, while "intransitive" means that any object will be indirect, i.e. will have a a preposition. In the case of "attend", that preposition is usually "to". One of the intransitive definitions is "to be present with : ACCOMPANY", which is being used in the luggage case. The intransitive sense has definitions such as "to direct one's attention". There is also a meaning of "deal with" that isn't listed by this dictionary. These meanings fit the other cases you cite where "to" is used.

    • It is not related to my question but I wonder in merriam-webster both "attended to" and "attend" have the same meaning as "to pay attention". Can I use them interchangeably, "Attend the warning signals" or "Attend to the warning signals"

      – Talha Özden
      6 hours ago











    • I guess either one could theoretically be used in this context- merriam-webster.com/dictionary/attend - transitive definition 2 and intransitive definition 3 both essentially mean “heed” or “pay attention to”. But I honestly would probably not use either one when talking about warning signals- somehow these commands both sound odd to me (maybe it’s a regional/dialect situation, I don’t know). If I had to pick one that sounded better to me in this context I’d probably go with “attend to”.

    The adjective unattended has primarily two meanings:



    1. Not noticed or paid attention to, or dealt with may be (yet is not quite often)*, followed by the preposition to:


    Is a gunman 20 years-old simply a troubled youth who got overlooked
    and unattended to?




    (Wasn't there anyone to attend [to notice or pay attention to] to the youth?)




    Shell, says the report, claims to be a good neighbor but leaves oil
    spills unattended to.




    (Shell claims that she is a good neighbor even if she doesn't attend [doesn't deal/take action with respect to] to the oil spills she leaves.)



    1. Not supervised or looked after (doesn't take the preposition to):


    Please do not leave your luggage unattended




    (Don't leave your luggage without your [or someone else's] supervision.)



    The sourse with examples of the usage.



    *In my opinion, the difference between the two meanings is very often too subtle in many scenarios.

      Examples 1 & 2 are incorrect uses of the intransitive verb "attend to".
      Both end sentences with a preposition; "to" in these instances.
      "Not given attention" would be a preferable construction in example 1 and "unremediated" would be preferable in example 2.



      Example 3 is a correct use of "unattended" as an adverb, the verb is "leave" in this instance.

              The adjective unattended has primarily two meanings:



              1. Not noticed or paid attention to, or dealt with may be (yet is not quite often)*, followed by the preposition to:


              Is a gunman 20 years-old simply a troubled youth who got overlooked
              and unattended to?




              (Wasn't there anyone to attend [to notice or pay attention to] to the youth?)




              Shell, says the report, claims to be a good neighbor but leaves oil
              spills unattended to.




              (Shell claims that she is a good neighbor even if she doesn't attend [doesn't deal/take action with respect to] to the oil spills she leaves.)



              1. Not supervised or looked after (doesn't take the preposition to):


              Please do not leave your luggage unattended




              (Don't leave your luggage without your [or someone else's] supervision.)



              The sourse with examples of the usage.



              *In my opinion, the difference between the two meanings is very often too subtle in many scenarios.

                      Examples 1 & 2 are incorrect uses of the intransitive verb "attend to".
                      Both end sentences with a preposition; "to" in these instances.
                      "Not given attention" would be a preferable construction in example 1 and "unremediated" would be preferable in example 2.



                      Example 3 is a correct use of "unattended" as an adverb, the verb is "leave" in this instance.
