C. Presentation/ Discussion Definition
-is a statement of the meaning of a word or
word group or a sign or symbol
- it is a statement expressing the essential
nature of something
-it is a product of defining
-the action or the power of describing,

There are three types of definition:

1. Informal definition
2. Formal definition
3. Extended or Expanded definition

INFORMAL DEFINITION- as either

denotation or connotation.

DENOTATION- is the dictionary meaning of

word.
Example: Rose is a family of prickly shrub
with pinnate leaves and showy flowers.

CONNOTATION-is the secondary meaning of

the word and not necessarily included in the
dictionary.
Example: A dozen of pink roses is usually
given to their beloved ones.
Instead of literally referring to flowers, love
and romance are connoted.

FORMAL DEFINITION- consists of three

principal parts:
1. Species (WORD)- name of the object,
process, or concept define. Usually followed
by “is” and “are”
2. Genus (CLASS)- general group to which
object belongs.
3. Differentiae- an element, feature, or factor
that distinguishes one entity, state, or class
from another. It is a characteristic trait
distinguishing a species from other species of
the same genus.
For example: Skimming (SPECIES) is a
reading technique (CLASS) of allowing the
eyes to travel over a page very quickly,
stopping only here and here and there to gain
an idea (DIFFERENTIAE).
EXPANDED or EXTENDED
DEFINITION- generally have components
of both informal and formal definitions.
