What's the difference between particularly and especially?
Can you give any examples? Thanks very much.

hi there
in fact the have not very clear difference I guess.
I write the meaning from a dictionary for you:
Particularly :
means more than usually : very, extremely . and used to indicate someone or something that "deserves" special mention
eg: It has been a particularly [=especially] dry summer.
especially:
more than usually : very, extremely .
eg: The facility was built especially [=specifically] for research.
from another dictionary
especially
es·pe·cial·ly (ě-spěsh'ə-lē, ĭ-spěsh'-)
adv.
To an extent or degree deserving of special emphasis; particularly.
particularly
par·tic·u·lar·ly (pər-tĭk'yə-lər-lē, pə-tĭk'-)
adv.
To a great degree; especially: I particularly like the brown shoes.
as you see they are not very different but. particularly is a little polite and fashionable! ;)
I hope it'll help you.
