Studying componential analysis of meaning has enhanced my understanding of how words convey meaning. Many words share similar characteristics. For instance, the term "lexeme" may sound like a person's name, but it encompasses much more than that. It helps me understand the concept of a lexeme and how it is utilized within words or sentences. I truly appreciate how you break down meanings and provide examples to facilitate our understanding. The use of Componential Analysis Method (CAM) has been incredibly helpful in grasping word definitions. Thank you, Prof, for making this material so useful and informative! CLEOFE, IRENE F. BEE II - 1 (Term 1, SY 2024-2025)
This video really opened my eye on how to do a componential analysis of lexemes. In the surface level, all of these words do seem similar but different, but with the use of componential analysis, we can clearly point out the differences, or differentiae, and use that to create our own definition of the lexemes. This was a great and comprehensive lesson, Prof. Andy! Thank you very much. CAJIUAT, Joanjette BEE II-3

Reflecting on Componential Analysis of Meaning (CAM), I’ve gained a deeper understanding of how language constructs meaning through shared and contrasting features among words. This not only clarifies the relationship between lexemes, like "pencil" and "ballpen," but also emphasizes the importance of precision in definitions. In this video, the breakdown of words into their semantic features shows how a specific lexeme differs from the general class to which it belongs. Thank you for this detailed lecture, Prof! ELARDO, Joshua M. BEE II-1

This video explained Componential Analysis of Meaning (CAM) in a clear and concise manner. As shown in the example, through the table, we can see which features are shared by the lexemes, as represented by the plus sign (+). However, they also have contrasting features, as represented by the minus sign (-). At first glance, it might seem that they are all the same, but through CAM, we can assess their similarities and differences in a comprehensive way. Thank you so much, Prof! TANGCO, JONELLA FRANCYN B. BEE II-1 TERM 1; A.Y. 2024 - 2025
Studying semantics is interesting! Componential analysis of meaning can help on writing definitions. Because componential analysis of meaning separates lexemes according to their shared and contrastive features. The genus and differentiae, on the other hand, are the two components of the definition. Differentiae is the quality that distinguishes a word from other members of the same class, whereas genus is the overall class to which the word belongs. The componential analysis of meaning that Sir Andy demonstrated in the video was used to identify both of these. CORPIN, ANGELA A. BEE II-3 A.Y. 2024-2025

This video lesson about semantics greatly helped me to further understand its relation and other features in producing a meaning. The componential analysis of meaning is really an interesting topic for me and the discussion of genus, differentiae, domain, and diagnostic feature allows me to understand more about lexemes. CRUZ, Arylle Stephanie A. BEE II-3
This lesson on Componential Analysis of Meaning helped me in various ways. First, completing the table was a big help in identifying which lexemes share the same or different plus and minus values. As the professor observed, I also noticed that the fountain pen and ballpoint pen had the same set of plus and minus values initially, but after adding another column for a semantic feature, each item now had a distinct set of plus and minus values. However, in the aspect of "used on paper," I began to wonder if there could be an exception, such as for specific types of paper. For instance, does a particular type of paper accept only certain writing instruments? What about "Manila Paper"? It's still paper, right, and can be used with permanent ink? This lesson and video on componential analysis of meaning helped me differentiate one lexeme from another based on their shared and contrastive diagnostic features. My earlier dilemma about permanent markers and their use on paper was resolved by the end of the lesson, as the plus/minus signs became clearer. QUEZADA, Jasmine BEE II-3
Torio, Jerwin Roi B. BEE II-3 I really find it interesting how the Componential Analysis of Meaning (CAM) can help us create a definition comprehensively, with the shared features we can find the similarities of lexemes, while on the other hand diagnostic features helps us differentiate lexemes from one another, therefore allowing us to come up with a clear definition out of the features with enough distinction to set them apart so we don't confuse certain words from one another.
It's amazing how CAM allows me to understand the meanings and at the same time determine a word's distinct semantic features among other lexemens. Moreover, learning the definition of a word becomes much easier using the CAM. MATUTINA, Venelle Ericka A. BEE II-1 TERM 1 | A.Y. 2024-2025
CAPATI, LUZYL SABRINA C. BEE II-3 I find the utilization of a chart of semantic features really helpful in differentiating lexemes. The key words, genus, differentiae, and domain were quite helpful additional information as well. This video equipped me with information that will help me in constructing definitions.
With this video, it gave me ample knowledge about semantics and their important role specifically when determining the meaning of a certain thing. PARAZO, NICOLE JANE BEE II-3
Thank you so much for this insightful video, Prof! I have learned how semantic features can be used in creating definitions of lexemes, and how different components/features can be used to compare or contrast words. OCAMPO, Shaira Ann C. BEE II-1 A.Y. 2024-2025
Componential analysis of meaning (CAM) really helps you understand the importance of the lexemes which makes you hooked up in this kind of topics, not only is this easy to understand once studied, but also broadens your vocabulary of the meaning of such words or so they called lexemes. TUPAZ, AGATHA J. BEE II-1
This video explains the features of a semantic such as the shared and diagnostic features. CAM is very useful in terms of communication to differentiate words by its components. Bolo, Metzhel A. BEE II-3
This method helps to better understand and define a word by analyzing its semantic features, especially in relation to other words in the same field. Agtarap, Janella Nicole L. BEE II-3
Upon reflecting on the video, I have come to understand the role of semantics in identifying the meaning of a certain word. At first, I was confused about how these words could be differentiated and defined, but the table made it all easy. SHAIRA MAE BAUSA BEE II-3
The video explains to me how we can break down the meaning of words by looking at their shared and contrasting features. And this method is called componential analysis that helps us figure out what makes one word different from another. XANDER A. LARIDO BEE II-1
This is a very insightful video! I thought Componential Analysis of Meaning (CAM) was only useful when it comes to identifying and comparing semantic features, but it is surprisingly of great assistance in writing definitions as well. By simply looking at the shared and contrastive components between words, written meanings become more accurate, detailed, and precise. It makes me curious; do lexicographers use CAM when writing dictionaries? It will totally make sense if they do! Mejorada, Ma. Lana Lynne M. BEE II-1 Term 1, A.Y. 2024 - 2025
CAMET, ALEXANDER LEO N. BEE II-3 After watching this discussion, I have ascertained that semantics plays a vital role in language as it governs how meaning is assigned to words, phrases, and sentences. With this, effective communication will be guaranteed. Without semantics, language would lose its precision, and misunderstandings would arise frequently because words would lack clear definitions or interpretations.
Understanding semantics, lexemes, and domains helps me grasp how meaning is structured in language. This will allow me to use words more accurately in different contexts, that will help me use language more effectively in teaching one day. CLARISSE MARGARETH S. NICOLAS II BEE - 1 Term 1, AY 2024-2025
I have learned that words are more than just labels, they are complex structures composed of smaller units of meaning called semantic features. By breaking down words into these features, we can better understand how they relate to each other and why they mean what they do. PEDRALVEZ, Allysa Mae P. BEE II-3

As the professor observed, I also noticed that the fountain pen and ballpoint pen had the same set of plus and minus values initially, but after adding another column for a semantic feature, each item now had a distinct set of plus and minus values. However, in the aspect of "used on paper," I began to wonder if there could be an exception, such as for specific types of paper. For instance, does a particular type of paper accept only certain writing instruments? What about "Manila Paper"? It's still paper, right, and can be used with permanent ink? This lesson and video on componential analysis of meaning helped me differentiate one lexeme from another based on their shared and contrastive diagnostic features. My earlier dilemma about permanent markers and their use on paper was resolved by the end of the lesson, as the plus/minus signs became clearer.

I really find it interesting how the Componential Analysis of Meaning (CAM) can help us create a definition comprehensively, with the shared features we can find the similarities of lexemes, while on the other hand diagnostic features helps us differentiate lexemes from one another, therefore allowing us to come up with a clear definition out of the features with enough distinction to set them apart so we don't confuse certain words from one another.
It's amazing how CAM allows me to understand the meanings and at the same time determine a word's distinct semantic features among other lexemens.
Moreover, learning the definition of a word becomes much easier using the CAM.

I find the utilization of a chart of semantic features really helpful in differentiating lexemes. The key words, genus, differentiae, and domain were quite helpful additional information as well. This video equipped me with information that will help me in constructing definitions.
With this video, it gave me ample knowledge about semantics and their important role specifically when determining the meaning of a certain thing.

Thank you so much for this insightful video, Prof! I have learned how semantic features can be used in creating definitions of lexemes, and how different components/features can be used to compare or contrast words.

Componential analysis of meaning (CAM) really helps you understand the importance of the lexemes which makes you hooked up in this kind of topics, not only is this easy to understand once studied, but also broadens your vocabulary of the meaning of such words or so they called lexemes.

This video explains the features of a semantic such as the shared and diagnostic features. CAM is very useful in terms of communication to differentiate words by its components.

This method helps to better understand and define a word by analyzing its semantic features, especially in relation to other words in the same field.

Upon reflecting on the video, I have come to understand the role of semantics in identifying the meaning of a certain word. At first, I was confused about how these words could be differentiated and defined, but the table made it all easy.

The video explains to me how we can break down the meaning of words by looking at their shared and contrasting features. And this method is called componential analysis that helps us figure out what makes one word different from another.

This is a very insightful video! I thought Componential Analysis of Meaning (CAM) was only useful when it comes to identifying and comparing semantic features, but it is surprisingly of great assistance in writing definitions as well. By simply looking at the shared and contrastive components between words, written meanings become more accurate, detailed, and precise. It makes me curious; do lexicographers use CAM when writing dictionaries? It will totally make sense if they do!

After watching this discussion, I have ascertained that semantics plays a vital role in language as it governs how meaning is assigned to words, phrases, and sentences. With this, effective communication will be guaranteed. Without semantics, language would lose its precision, and misunderstandings would arise frequently because words would lack clear definitions or interpretations.
Understanding semantics, lexemes, and domains helps me grasp how meaning is structured in language. This will allow me to use words more accurately in different contexts, that will help me use language more effectively in teaching one day.

I have learned that words are more than just labels, they are complex structures composed of smaller units of meaning called semantic features. By breaking down words into these features, we can better understand how they relate to each other and why they mean what they do.
