Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Solution: Match each definition to its characteristic and justify briefly.
Stipulative definition: It assigns or stipulates a meaning for a term for the purpose of discussion; such definitions are neither true nor false in the usual sense.
Lexical definition: It reports how a term is actually used or what it means in ordinary usage; it reports the meaning of the definiendum.
Precising definition: It reduces vagueness or ambiguity by making a term more precise; it is used to eliminate ambiguity.
Theoretical definition: It defines a term within the context of a theory and encapsulates a larger theoretical understanding.
Final matching: Stipulative → It is neither accurate nor inaccurate; Lexical → It reports the meaning of the definiendum; Precising → They are used to eliminate ambiguity; Theoretical → They encapsulate larger understanding of theory.
