  5. Technical Definitions Chapter 3 in Pocket Book of Technical Writing by Finkelstein “In technical writing, definition is the process by which one assigns a precise meaning to a term.” – Fink, p.25

  6. Technical Definitions II • (Qualifier +) Term = Classification + Differentiation • Qualifier: • “used when general context for a definition needs to be established up front” – Fink p.26 • Classification: • “a general category in which the term fits” – Fink p.27 • Differentiation: • “Narrowing the meaning of the term to just one possibility within the class.” – Fink p.29

  7. Technical Definitions III • Know you audience • Define abbreviations the first time you use them • Your technical definition may spur the need for more technical definitions. (Extensions – Fink page 30) • Further definition • Compare and Contrast • Classification • Cause and Effect • Process • Exemplification • Etymology
