3. The concept is defined, described, analyzed in clear language & syntax.
4. The concept is discussed so clearly and in such specific terms that they can be easily related to experience.
5. The apparent complexity is broken down into aspects or elements, where form or structure is involved; into stages, if a process; and/or levels, if a system, making relationship and points of interlinking comprehensible.
Techniques of Defining
1. Formal - follows a pattern or equation: term + genus + differentia (differentiating characteristics) Ex. A robot is a machine that looks like a human being and performs complex acts of a human being. (Webster)
2. By Synonym - Ex. Hashish – marijuana
4. By Illustration - Ex: Known for their shedding their leaves in the fall, deciduous trees include oaks, maples, and beeches.

A peculiar kind of vagabond language, always hanging around on the skirts of legitimate speech, but continually straying or forcing its way into the most respectable company is what we call slang.
Ex: The germs and bacteria or antigens are
like a gang of villains invading our body, attacking our unseen
defenders, the layers of macrophages, cytokines, and lymphocytes.
9. By Contrast - use of opposites. Ex. Unlike those of gas, the particles of plasma are electrically charged.
