 belief in the reliability, truth, ability, Kyla: TRUST

 Analysis
“I have one question before we
proceed with the proper discussion”

“What are the characteristics of the

definitions presented in each Karen: “All definitions attempt to explain
number?” or clarify a term. This lesson will
introduce you to the three different
types of definitions: formal, informal,
and extended.”
 Abstraction
Formal Definitions
A formal definition 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.

Ex: Trust
/trəst/ noun firm belief in the
reliability, truth, ability, or strength
of someone or something.

Informal Definitions
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.
Ex. Hate It expresses a strong
feeling of disgust and repulsion
toward something thought of as
unworthy, unlucky, or the like.

Extended Definitions generally

have components of both informal
and formal definitions. However, as
the name suggests, the author uses
a number of other techniques to
define a word, concept, or
phrase, including the following:

Etymology: sharing a word's

origin.

Historical references: showing

how a word has been defined
throughout history.
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.

Examples or anecdotes: telling a

story or example that illustrates the
term.

Negation: defining a term by

explaining what the concept is not.

 Application
You will identify what kind of
extended definitions are the
following:

1. Sara, a childhood friend of mine,

disobeyed her parents right before
Christmas. Although I can't
remember the crime, I can Expected Answers:
remember the -Evoking the senses
consequence. To make matters -Etymology
worse, she had to watch her -Historical References
younger siblings open all of their -Negation
presents in front of her on -Anecdotes
Christmas morning because there
were no gifts under the tree for her
from "Santa Claus." Sara claims she
was subjected to cruel and unusual
punishment since Santa Claus did
not bring her gifts that year because
she was on the "naughty list." Her
parents may well still stand by their
choice. I tend to concur because
it seems like the penalties were
too severe for any youngster,
regardless of how mischievous she
may have been.

2. True freedom is a condition free

from the chains of servitude.
3. When rain falls on dry soil,
 petrichor, an earthy smell is
produced.

4. The unpleasant awareness of

your own heartbeat is called
rubatosis.

5. Exultations the propensity to

stop trying to explain an experience
when others find it difficult to relate
to it—whether out of envy, pity, or
just plain foreignness—allowing it to
drift away from the rest of your life
story until the memory itself feels
out of place, almost mythical,
wandering restlessly in the fog, no
longer even trying to land.

V. Assessment:

Give a description or meaning to each word using formal and

informal.

1. Reliable
2. Diploma
3. Rating
4. Sense
5. Remote
6. Cellphone
7. Keyboard
8. Ribbon
9. Towel
10. Faith

Closing Prayer:
Holy and Almighty God, we are grateful to you, Lord, for all the
blessings and learnings that you have bestowed upon us. We are grateful that
You have made it possible for us to learn about the knowledge in this world,
and we thank You for keeping us attentive to the lesson. Amen!
