5	Kind, Considerate, Thoughtful: A Semantic Analysis
	Travis, Catherine
	In: Lexikos; Vol. 7 (1997) ; 2224-0039 (2012)
	Abstract: This paper presents a semantic analysis of three English words denoting positive character traits, namely kind , considerate and thoughtful . These three words are closely related, and the differences (and similarities) in their meanings can be very difficult to pinpoint. It shall be shown that modern dictionaries demonstrate a great deal of circularity in their definitions of these words, reflecting the closeness of their meanings. An analysis of usage examples provides evidence on the basis of which their differences can be understood. Some of the differences that shall be noted are the following: kind and thoughtful necessarily involve doing something for another person, while considerate does not; kind involves not wanting anyone to feel bad, considerate involves not wanting anyone to feel bad as a result of one's actions, and thoughtful focuses on a specific situation another is in, and not wanting them to feel bad in that situation; kind involves wanting to do something for another's good, while considerate involves wanting to avoid something that may harm another; and both considerate and thoughtful imply some kind of thinking about another before one acts, as reflected in their morphology. The Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach, as developed by Wierzbicka (1972, 1980, 1996) and colleagues, is used to propose definitions for these words, with the aim of exhaustively capturing their meaning, and clearly delineating their range of use. Such definitions can be particularly valuable to second language learners, and can provide a basis for cross-linguistic, and cross-cultural, comparisons of related concepts. ; Kind, considerate, thoughtful : 'n Semantiese analiseIn hierdie artikel word 'n semantiese analise aangebied van drie Engelse woorde wat positiewe karaktertrekke te kenne gee, naamlik kind , considerate en thoughtful . Hierdie drie woorde is nou verwant, en die verskille (en ooreenkomste) in hul betekenisse kan moeilik uitgewys word. Daar sal aangetoon word dat moderne woordeboeke 'n groot mate van sirkelbeskrywing in hul definisies van hierdie woorde bevat, wat die noue verband in hulle betekenisse weerspieël. 'n Ontleding van gebruiksvoorbeelde lewer bewyse op grond waarvan hulle verskille verstaan kan word. Sommige van die verskille wat uitgewys sal word, is die volgende: kind en thoughtful hou noodsaaklikerwyse in om iets vir iemand anders te doen, terwyl dit nie die geval met considerate is nie; kind hou in om enigiemand nie sleg te wil laat voel nie, considerate hou in om iemand nie sleg te wil laat voel as gevolg van 'n mens se optrede nie, en thoughtful fokus op 'n spesifieke situasie waarin iemand anders is, en om hom/haar nie te laat sleg voel in daardie situasie nie; kind hou in dat iets tot iemand anders se voordeel gedoen wil word, terwyl considerate inhou dat iets vermy wil word wat ander kan benadeel; en beide considerate en thoughtful impliseer 'n mate van inagneming van 'n ander voor 'n mens optree, soos weerspieël in hul morfologie. Die Natuurlike Semantiese Metataal-benadering, soos ontwikkel deur Wierzbicka (1972, 1980, 1996) en kollegas, word benut om definisies vir hierdie woorde voor te stel, met die doel om hul betekenisse volledig vas te lê, en om hul gebruiksgebied duidelik af te baken. Sulke definisies kan veral waardevol wees vir tweedetaalaanleerders, en kan as basis dien vir kruislinguistiese, en kruiskulturele, vergelykings van verwante begrippe.
