012 Componential analysis
It frequently happens in descriptive and expressive language that a low-frequency word has to be put through the following process:
dapper - upraveny a cily
facetious - obhrouble nebo nejapne vtipny
quaint - pritazlivy, starobyly, pitoreskni...
- Break it down into all its primary and secondary, conceptual and connotative meanings
- Decide which of these have any valency with the given context.
- Pare these down to two words (or at very most three if they do not disturb the dynamic of the text).
- Bracket off any remainder for possible later weighting of subsequent componential analyses. A couple of English-Czech examples:
dapper - upraveny a cily
facetious - obhrouble nebo nejapne vtipny
quaint - pritazlivy, starobyly, pitoreskni...
