B. Motivation
Activity 1: I know what you’re talking
about!
Before we start our discussion, let us first
exercise our minds with a quick game. In
this game, I will be showing you definitions
of items, concepts or ideas and you will
guess what is it that is being defined. The
items, concepts and ideas are those that are
relatable to you. Are you ready for our
activity class?
1. a portable device that uses 1. Mobile Phone/ Cellphone

radiofrequency signals to enable wireless
communication with other users over a
cellular network.
2. a telecommunication device that receives 2. Television

broadcasted audiovisual content through
electromagnetic waves and displays it on a
screen.

people or goods, typically on land, water, or

and sometimes armrests, supported by legs
or a frame.
Great! It seems like you really are familiar

with these definitions.

Wow! It seems that you are really good at
Region I
giving definitions. Very good, class.

ANALYSIS In the previous activities, I asked
you to identify what is asked/described in
the screen and I also asked you to give the
meaning of the object/word that is being
shown on the screen.
What do you call the act of giving meaning

to an object, place or an idea?
Very good! How about the statement that

gives the meaning of a term?
Excellent! When we give the meaning of a

particular term, we are actually defining
that term and the statement that we use to
give meaning to a term is called a
definition. These concepts are highly
important to our discussion for today
because we are going to talk about
Technical and Operational Definitions.
D. DISCUSSION
Technical vs. Operational Definition
Technical definition mostly refers to the
aspect of explaining or describing any
technical terms or terminology. Technical
definitions could be used in expanding
the vocabulary since most of these terms
are explained in the exact manner.
Examples include the terms and definitions
of the words found in dictionary.
Operational definition, on the other hand,

is more on the application of the word.
For example, these may include the various
Region I
attempts to define or explain a certain

process and its properties including but not
limited to the characteristics of the
event itself.
For example, the technical definition of a
computer is a device or machine used in
performing, assessing, evaluation and
following commands set by the users.
The operational definition of a computer is
something used in doing homework or
browsing the internet.
TYPES OF DEFINITIONS
Four categories of definitions:
1. Parenthetical definition - When defining
a word that the reader will easily
understand if shown a synonym or
alternative phrase, show the synonym in
parentheses immediately after the word.
Example: The software has received
many reviewers' accolades (praises).
2. Defining phrase - It is sometimes
beneficial to use a term as it is used by the
profession you are writing about, and to
follow the term with a few words to
explain it.
Example: A technical writer should ask a
colleague to proof each draft, to read
through it for errors.
3. Formal sentence - A formula is given for
writing a definition in a sentence.
Start with the word or phrase, state the
class (the category the word belongs
to), and the distinguishing characteristics
that make it different from other
members of its class.
Region I
Example: An operational definition (phrase)

is the specific meaning of a word or phrase
(class) given to it by the group of people
who use the word in their specific context
(distinguishing characteristics).
4. Extended definition - This version of a
definition is the longest, offering the
freedom to provide insight into the origin of
the term, additional meanings,
synonyms and antonyms, and more.
Additional terms are defined here that may

be used in definitions:
denotation - The most basic meaning of a
term, usually the first meaning in
a dictionary entry
connotation - The most familiar meaning of
a term to a user
synonym - Another word or phrase that has
the same or almost the same
meaning
antonym - Another word or phrase that has
the opposite meaning
description - As used here, a longer, more
detailed description than is
provided by a single formal sentence. This
may include a description of each
part of a device.
contrast - A discussion of the term as it
compares to a term that has a
different meaning.
comparison - A discussion of the term as it
relates to a term similar in
meaning.
analogy - This method uses similes or
metaphors to explain a thing as being
Region I
like something else. Example: a network

router is a device that works like an
airport traffic controller, keeping network
signals moving toward thei r
destinations, and avoiding collisions
between them.
origin - An explanation of where a term
comes from, who first used it, or the
circumstances in which it was first used.
etymology - A more formal statement about
the language roots of a word.
Technical terms may not have actual roots
of this sort. The author explains
that they are often acronyms that are
better understood when the letters or
parts of the word are explained.
COMMON ERRORS IN DEFINITIONS

Definition fallacies are errors a technical
writer might make when writing
definitions. Most are easily understood:
• too technical - The writer has not

explained plainly enough.
• too broad - The writer has not focused on
what the word means in context.
• too narrow - The writer has not given a
definition that is general enough
that the reader might recognize other cases
of the thing being defined.
• circular - Typically, the writer has defined
a phrase using one of the words
in the phrase, or defined a word using
another form of the same word.

answer or you can also raise your hand. Are
