Three Ways of
Elucidating
a Concept
 1. Definition
What is It
- explaining the concept by
answering, “What does it mean?”
This makes of an illustrations,
examples, and description to
clarify the term.
A definition can be done in three

terms in the same

First described in 1907 by Alos Alzheimer, a
German pgysician, Azheimer’s disease is an
adult-onset neurological disorder of unknown
etiology (cause) manifested by loss of
memory, impaired thought processes, and
abnormal behavior. When the illness begins
before the age of 65, it is termed Alzheimer’s
disease; when onset is after 65, it is referred to
as senile dementia of the Alzheimer’s type.
 Example:

as defined, for example, for

Signal Words instance, is defined as,
for means, such as,
Definition to define, to illustrate
 2. Explication
What is It – is a method of explanation in which
sentences, verses, quotes,
or phrases are taken from a literary or
academic work then interpreted and
explained in a detailed way

You may begin by analyzing how the text was constructed

and end with a concise conclusion by restating your major
arguments. Explication not only illuminates a piece of
literature, but also serves to remind the readers about its
historical setting and formal properties of style and language.
Example
 3. Clarification
What is It – it is a method of explanation in
which the points are organized from a
general abstract idea to specific and
concrete examples. The analysis of
the concept is done by looking at the
examples and specifying its
characteristics.
 Example:

after all for instance namely that is

your barangay during this time of COVID-

funds for this year cannot suffice the
project’s completion. Present a short
description of this project to a private
institution in order to obtain funds for this
noble cause. Write your answers in your
notebook following the format below.
