For the facilitator:

Welcome to the English 10 Self-Learning Module 4 on Understanding Literature

through Feminist Approach.
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators
from Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge Schools
Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership with the
Local Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Vico Sotto. The writers
utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential

RECAP

Previously, we learned the difference between technical and operational

definitions.
Technical definitions could be used in expanding the vocabulary since
most of these terms are explained in the exact manner. Examples include
the terms and definitions of the words found in dictionary.
Operational definition, on the other hand, is more on the application of
the word. For example, these may include the various attempts to define or
explain a certain process and its properties including but not limited to the
characteristics of the event itself.

LESSON

One of the ways we reach such level of proficiency in a language is the

ability to define words. There are different ways to define words. In this
lesson, we will learn about defining words through extended definition.

What is Extended definition?

Extended definition is the meaning of an idea or word that is presented in a

longer, paragraph format. We understand what we read, and we better
explain our point when we know what the words mean.

7
There are different techniques to define a word, concept, or phrase, in
extended definition format. These include the following:

1. Listing and describing the parts- identifying smaller, more familiar

pieces of an idea to point to the definition of the bigger concept.

Example:
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.
Source: https://cutt.ly/EfMe8tM

2. Etymology- sharing the word's

origin. Example:

The root of ‘English’ is ‘Engl’ which came from the ancient Germanic
tribe, the Angles, who spoke a language that later became English.
The -ish is just a suffix, that means “language of” in this case.
Source: https://literaryterms.net/etymology/

3. Examples or anecdotes- telling a story or example that illustrates the

term.
Example:

Once upon a time, bullying in schools only referred to the students

who forced the smaller students to give up their lunch money or the
ones who beat them up after school.
Source: https://cutt.ly/ifNN6e5

4. Negation- defining a term by explaining what the concept is not.

Example:

“Peace is not something you wish for; It's something you make,
something you do, something you are, and something you give away”-
John Lennon

5. Evoking the senses- using a word that creates a picture in the reader's
mind so that the reader might relate through memory of sound, sight,
touch, hearing, or smell.

Example:

Love is a crazy thing, and chances are, you've spent hours upon
hours pondering life questions about the feeling at one moment or
another.
Source: https://cutt.ly/afNMizR

6. Environment or sector- pointing out how and where something is

used.
Example:

The use of computers on a regular basis in our life is very

important. Technically in daily life computer is used to convert raw
facts and data into meaningful information and knowledge.
Source: https://cutt.ly/XfNMlvQ

7. Ramifications- showing how the term or concept affects people or

objects.
Examples:

Global warming, the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and

atmosphere, is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of
fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and other
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Source: https://www.livescience.com/37057-global-warming-effects.html

8. Historical references- showing how a word has been defined

throughout history.
Example:

Rizal always considered education as a medicine or something that

could cure the problems of Colonial Philippines. He believed in
education that is free from political and religious control. He
asserted that reform cannot be achieved if there is no suitable
education, a liberal one available to Filipinos.

Guided Practice:
Let’s try a few items as practice exercise. Read the paragraph below. Analyze
and tell what form of extended definition is applied the paragraph. Please
refer to the numbers indicated.

(1) To our colonial forefathers, freedom meant having a voice in

their government. (2) The Revolutionary War was a last resort
against an empire that continued to tax its colonists without
the representation of the colonists in Parliament. Since the
United States won the right to rule itself, our country has been
referred to as "the land of the free and the home of the brave."
(3) True freedom means the ability to think, feel, say, or act
however one chooses. (4) It is a state where the bars of bondage
do not exist. (5) Unfortunately, the widening gap between the
haves and have nots means that some are now shackled by their
lack of education. Americans can attain real freedom when
everyone has the same educational opportunities.

Answers:

Sentence 1. Historical reference: The basis of defining the word freedom in

this sentence is according to how the American colonial
forefathers defined it. The definition has something to do with
the historical background of the word defined.

Sentence 2. Example: In connection to Sentence 1, freedom as defined as

“having a voice in the government” is clearly explained by
mentioning about the Revolutionary war that forced the
empire (government) to have colonists to represent and have a
voice in the Parliament.

Sentence 3. Listing parts: Freedom was defined using words or parts that
will complete the meaning or the definition of the word.

Sentence 4. Negation: This sentence tells what freedom is not. Bondage

does not exist when there is freedom.

Sentence 5. Evoke the senses: In connection to Sentence 4, the word

shackled gives a picture to the readers of what it is like
without freedom. By using this word, it creates a picture in the
reader's mind what freedom is and what is not.
