About Definition Writing
Purpose:
Writers compose definitions for many reasons – to correctly define a misunderstood term, to deepen or re-direct its meaning, to plumb a term’s history, or to entertain readers.
Audience
People who read definition essays do so for different reasons, but all seek to learn something. For some readers, the term may be new, while for others, the term may be familiar but misunderstood.
Topic
For any definition, the topic is a term. Terms may be technical, unusual, complex, comical or new. They may have changed through time. They may be crucial to a larger analysis or argument.
Remember: a definition is not an argumentative or opinion-based paper. While you might select a controversial topic, the aim is to clarify what different people or groups might understand by the term. It is not to project your point of view.
