Writing practice
Definition is the method of development used whenever it is necessary to clarify the meaning of any ―fuzzy‖ or controversial term . In Writing ,and in conversation as well . we often use words or expressions that are perfectly obvious in meaning to us , but less so to our readers or listeners . More often than not , the problem lies with the word or expression we have used – it may be either abstract or unclear , perhaps having having many different meanings . The meanings of the words or expressions are usually conditioned by our experience , thus making it necessary to define them in
oral or written communication.
In writing a definition , we ought to bear in mind the following points: ? Use the etymolgy of a word to clarify its meaning .
? Give examples, state functions , and show effects of the defined term. ? Clarify the definition through the use of contrasts. ? Amplify the definition until the meaning is clear. Here‘s an example of the definition of ―Love‖
Love is the pitter-patter of the heart , butterflies in the tummy , the invisible symphonies that swallows dance to on silken twilit evenings ; but most of all , it is sudden , urgent lunacy. As an example , I offer the night I met Julie . I had saved for months to go to dinner at Chez Francois . I had the meal planned . Appetizer : oysters sautéed in olive oil . Main course : lobster steamed in wine with herb sauce . Vegetable: eggplant stuffed with mushrooms. Wine : a white Macon , which I was just about to select when I met Julie – the cocktail waitress . I took one look in her eyes and my appetite went down the tube . I know that‘s slang and that I should write something more elegant , but I actually felt my appetite dropping from my belly down to my toes – as if it fell down a tube – and , with a little imagination , I thought I even saw it roll out on the carpet and scurry away like a routed mouse . The rest of the night I just kept ordering one drink after another so that Julie would come around and I could talk to her . I ate part of a lobster feeler and then abandoned the carcass to the vultures ; the eggplant stayed on the plate as if some lobotomized hen had laid it there by mistake . I never touched a mushroom . All I did was drink , chat with Julie , make a desperate and inaudible moan to myself ,and get roaringly drunk . $54.89 later and I ended up eating a McDonald‘s hamburger. That‘s love , brother , that‘s love.
