V. Learning “Formal and Informal Definitions”
Content
Concept Formal definitions are based upon a concise, logical pattern that includes as much
information as it can, consisting of three parts, (1) term, (2) the part of speech to
which it belongs, and (3) all the traits or characteristics that are specific to that term.
Informal definitions are known words or examples that explain an unknown term
as introduced by or, in other word, or like.

1. Trust: /trəst/, noun, a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of
someone or something. (Formal definition because it entails the dictionary
meaning)
2. Hatred is like repulsion toward something or someone. (Informal definition
because there is some kind of uncertainty displayed in its thought)

compares love to a rosary)

 When writers are trying to explain an unfamiliar idea, they rely on definitions. All
definitions attempt to explain or clarify a term. This lesson will introduce you to the
two types of definitions: formal and informal.

Formal Definitions
A formal definition is the denotation or the literal meaning that consists of three parts:
the term, the part of speech to which it belongs, such as a noun or a verb, and all the
traits or characteristics that are specific to that term. The dictionary is filled with
formal definitions, but it is not the only place where you will find them. Writers often
include formal definitions when they are writing about something that may be
unfamiliar to their readers. In textbooks, you may find the formal definition of terms
listed at the beginning, at the end of a chapter, or in the glossary, which is a
minidictionary of terms relevant to that text.

Informal Definitions
An informal definition is the connotation of the word or term. A term has only one
literal definition but may have a lot of connotations. In an informal definition, the
writer uses known words or examples to explain an unknown term. These definitions
may be synonyms or antonyms introduced by or, in other words, or like.

The class will be asked to answer this practice exercise to develop mastery of the
Elaborate lesson.
I WAVE YOU- TO THE LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT!
Direction: As a group activity, judge whether the given definition is formal or informal.
If it is formal, wave your hands to the right and if informal, wave your hands to the
left. Then have one or two student/s to defend their claim.
1. Nighthawk is a recurring thought that only seems to strike you late at night—
an overdue task, a nagging guilt, a looming and shapeless future—that circles
high overhead during the day, that pecks at the back of your mind while you
try to sleep, that you can successfully ignore for weeks, only to feel its
presence hovering outside the window, waiting for you to finish your coffee,
passing the time by quietly building a nest.
2. Catalyst: /ˈkad(ə)ləst/ noun, is a substance that increases the rate of a
chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change.
3. When my friend Katrice was young, she disobeyed her parents near Christmas.
I don't recall the crime, but I do recall the consequence. When she woke up on
Christmas morning, there were no presents for her under the tree from "Santa
Claus." To make matters worse, she had to watch her younger siblings open all
their presents in front of her. Santa did not come for Katrice that year because
she was on the "naughty list." While her parents may well still stand by their
decision, Katrice maintains that she was the victim of cruel and unusual
punishment. I tend to agree, as it seems that the consequences were too
drastic for any child, no matter how naughty she may have been.
4. Stan: /stan/ noun, is a crazed and or obsessed fan. The term comes from the
song Stan by Eminem. The term Stan is used to describe a fan who goes to
great lengths to obsess over a celebrity.
5. True freedom is a state where the bars of bondage do not exist.

 questions and encourage them to raise questions too.

It is important for you to be able to understand new terms and ideas that you
encounter both in your college and professional lives. While you may be able to
understand an entire text without knowing what one or two words in the text are, you
could also be easily confused.
For instance, if you read an article about whaling that uses the word
"moratorium" and you think that a "moratorium" is a special type of aquarium, your
understanding of the entire passage will be hindered since "moratorium" actually
refers to the freezing, pausing, or halting of something, in this case the practice of
whaling. Imagine if you then used the word "aquarium" when you should have used
"moratorium." You run the risk of embarrassment if you use it with someone who
knows the actual meaning; even worse, you could pass on incorrect information to
another individual who would then be equally misinformed. Both situations can be
avoided when you are able to identify the correct definition.

A. EXTRACT ME THEN MAKE ME WHOLE!

5. Evaluation (10
mins.) Directions: From the pictures flashed on the screen, extract an idea/word then give
both formal and informal definition for each. Have your answers in complete
sentences, emphasizing the three parts for in the case of formal definitions. Do this in
the same groups. Choose one reporter every group to present your work to the class.
