34、other people, we sometimes offer informal definitions to explain just what we mean by a particular term. That is, to avoid confusion or misunderstanding, we have to define a word, term, or concept which is unfamiliar to most readers or open to various interpretations. Suppose, for example, we say to

35、 a friend:” Forrest is really an inconsiderate person.” We might then explain what we mean by “ inconsiderate” by saying, “He borrowed my accounting book overnight but didnt return it for a week. And when I got it back, it was covered with coffee stains. Definition is the explanation of the meaning

36、of a word or concept, and it is also a method of developing an essay.II. The ways to define a word or term There are three basic ways to define a word or term A. To give a synonym For example: To mend is to repair.” Or “ A fellow is a man or a boy.” B. To use a sentence (often with an attributive cl

37、ause) For example, ink may be define in a sentence: “Ink is colored water which we use for writing.” C. To write a paragraph or even an essay But a synonymy or a sentence cannot give a satisfactory definition of an abstract term whose meaning is complex. We have to write a paragraph or an essay with

38、 examples or negative examples (what the term does not mean), with analogies or comparisons, with classification or cause-effect analysis.III. When we give a definition, we should observe certain principles:1. First, we should avoid circular definitions. “Democracy is the democratic process.” And “a

39、stronomer is one who studies astronomy” are circular definition.2. Second, we should avoid long lists of synonyms if the term to be defined is an abstract one. For example: By imagination, I mean the power to form mental images of objects, the power to form new ideas, the gift of employing images in

40、 writing, and the tendency to attribute reality to unreal things, situations and states.(picking up words, expressions from a dictionary , in the hope that one will hit)3. Third, we should avoid loaded definition, Loaded definitions do not explain terms but make an immediate appeal for emotional app

41、roval. A definition like: By state enterprise, I mean high cost and poor efficiency.” is loaded with pejorative emotional connotation. Conversely, “ By state enterprise, I mean one of the great blessing of democratic planning” is loaded with favorable emotional connotation. Such judgements can be vi

42、gorious to a discussion, but they lead to argument, not clarification, when offered as definition. IV. Types of definition1. Standard/ Formal definition-denotation is a words core, direct, and literal meaning. 2. Connotative/Personal meaning-Explains what you mean by a certain term or concept that c

43、ould have different meanings for others.On the other hand, connotation is the implied, suggested meaning of a word; it refers to the emotional response stimulated by associations the word carries with it. A. For Americans, Water gate is associated with a political scandal that means dishonesty. And

44、more words are created with the suffixgate to mean some scandal in English now, thus, Iran Gate, Intelligence GateB. Dogs, in Chinese culture, may be quite a negative image. It is insulting to call someone a dog. What about the western people In their eyes, dog is lovely and has good associated mean

45、ings. They say “ Love me, love my dog.”C. Imperialism means to us Chinese quite negative. Some of the western people may be proud of being imperial and imperialism itself.D. People everywhere may also share some connotations for some words. They are general connotations. Mother means love, care, selfless, etc.E. Lets get the gang together for
