【正确答案】Componential analysis is a way proposed by the structural semanticists to analyze word meaning.The approach is based upon the belief that the meaning of a word can be dissected into meaning components,called semantic features.This is parallel to the way a phoneme is analyzed into smaller components called distinctive features.Plus and minus signs are used to indicate whether a certain semantic feature is present or absent in the meaning of a word and these feature symbols are usually written in capitalized letters.For example,the word“man”is analyzed as consisting the semantic features of+HUMAN.+ADULT,+ANIMATE.+MALE.
