    Giving Expanded

    Definitions of Words
    Quarter 4 - Module 3
    What I need to know?
    At the end of this module, you are
    expected to:
    1. Locate expanded definition of text
    2. Identify the word being described by
    expanded definitions; and
    3. Determine the type of expanded being
    used in the text.
    Extended Definition
     Defines and explains a single term,
    concept or object.
     Pins down the meaning of a
    specific word, or defines an
    abstract concept.
     Goes deeper than a simple
    dictionary definition.
    Planning
     What is the concept to be
    defined?
     Who is the intended audience?
    Is this for general audience or
    specific/specialized audience
    that will know technical terms
    and will not require further
    definition?
    Planning

     What is the purpose? Are you


    documenting a class or a
    system?
    3 STEPS:
    1. Tell readers what term
    is being defined.
    2. Present clear and
    basic information.
    3. Use facts, examples,
    or anecdotes that
    readers will
    understand.
    “A good definition
    should be precise,
    and it should
    identify the item you
    are defining beyond
    any doubt.”
    Example:

    1. Calculator: A calculator is an electronic


    device used to perform arithmetic and
    logical calculations. It is portable. It
    works on solar energy. It is small and
    handy. There are two types of
    calculators- scientific and ordinary
    calculator.
    Example:

    2. Barometer: A barometer is a scientific


    instrument used in meteorology to
    measure atmospheric pressure. It can
    measure the pressure exerted by the
    atmosphere by using water, air, or
    mercury. Pressure tendency can forecast
    short term changes in the weather.
    Example:

    3. Laptop: A laptop is a portable


    computer. Hence, it is convenient
    compared to the other systems. A laptop
    is a store house of information as it
    serves as a ready reckoner. There are
    varieties of laptops are available in the
    market. Some of them are very light and
    small.
    As our readings indicate, definition can
    begin with a synonym, a brief phrase, or a
    formal sentence that explains the
    term/field in its most basic form. But this
    assignment requires you to write an
    extended definition using the tactics of
    definition. The techniques you use will
    depend on what is appropriate for
    audience and subject matter. These
    techniques are listed below:
    1. Etymology – explaining origin of
    4. Description – listing and
    the word itself
    defining the component parts
    2. History – if relevant, discussing the
    5. Principles of Operation –
    history of the term/its
    use/controversies associated with it discussing how topic in question
    3.Cause and Effect – discussing how functions, including any special
    the situation came about and materials or conditions required
    what effects it may have
    6. Classification - showing how the
    9. Analogy – explaining by
    topic fits into a larger category
    comparing two dissimilar topics,
    7. Contrast/Negation – showing how
    where the second is familiar to the
    the topic differs from others in
    the same class audience
    8. Comparison – showing how the 10. Examples
    topic is similar to others in the class 11. Illustrations
    HAVE FUN
