TY - JOUR A1 - Widyastuti, Susana PB - Islamic University of Indonesia IS - 1 EP - 128 Y1 - 2010/01/01/ N2 - Abstract There are many different ways to approach the problems of meaning, since meaning is related to many different functions of language. The meanings of words in a language are interrelated and they are defined in part by their relations with other words in the language. Analyzed in the same semantic domain, words can be classified according to shared and differentiating features. Breaking down the sense of a word into its minimal distinctive features, componential analysis of meaning can be a semantic approach to determine the meaning of a word. Although componential analysis has some difficulties and limitations in its application, it is still used in modern linguistics. Key words: components, analysis, meaning, semantics VL - 4 SN - 1983 371X ID - UNY1174 JF - Journal of English and Education UR - http://eprints.uny.ac.id/1174/ TI - COMPONENTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEANING: THEORY AND APPLICATION AV - public SP - 116 ER -
