    Question

    Match the LIST–I with LIST–II

    LIST-I (Intension)
    LIST-II (Description)
    A. Subjective
    I. When a word, phrase is defined in terms of another word or phrase that has the same meaning
    B. Objective
    II. The commonly accepted intension of a term
    C. Conventional
    III. Set of all attributes the speaker believes to be possessed by the object
    D. Synonymous
    IV. Total set of attributes shared by all the objects in the extension of a term

    Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

    A.

    A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV

    B.

    A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV

    C.

    A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

    D.

    A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II

    Correct option is C

    The correct match is:

    • Subjective (A) refers to the set of all attributes the speaker believes to be possessed by the object, which reflects personal perception and is hence subjective (III).

    • Objective (B) refers to the total set of attributes shared by all the objects in the extension of a term, i.e., the common attributes objectively present (IV).

    • Conventional (C) refers to the commonly accepted intension of a term, which is the agreed-upon meaning or attributes in the language community (II).

    • Synonymous (D) relates to when a word or phrase is defined in terms of another word or phrase with the same meaning (I).

    Therefore, option (c) A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I is the correct match.

    Information Booster:

    • Subjective intension depends on individual beliefs or perceptions, and may vary among speakers.

    • Objective intension is grounded in the shared, inherent attributes common to all instances of the term, independent of individual beliefs.

    • Conventional intension is based on social or linguistic convention, reflecting how a term is generally understood in a language community.

    • Synonymous intension involves definitions relying on equivalency of meaning between words or phrases, ensuring clarity and precision in language.

    • Intension differs from extension, where intension relates to the concept or attributes of the term, while extension relates to the actual set of objects or instances it denotes.

    • Understanding these distinctions is essential in semantics, linguistics, and philosophy of language for precise communication and interpretation.
