dbo:abstract
  • A relative term is a term that makes two or more distinct references to objects (which may be the same object, for example in "The Morning Star is the Evening Star"). A relative term is typically expressed in ordinary language by means of a phrase with explicit or implicit blanks. Examples: * __ loves * __ is the same object as __ * __ is giver of __ to __. The word is is a relative term when it expresses identity. The colloquial meaning for a relative term is that it is different for different people or situations. An example: someone who is 5 feet tall might think someone who is 5 feet six inches tall is tall, but someone who is 6 feet would think that that person is short. An atom is big compared to a quark, but it is very small when compared to a body cell. Fast food may be healthier than preserved food, but unhealthy compared to organic produce. (en)
  • Relatief betekent dat iets moet worden bezien in relatie tot iets anders. Een voorbeeld is: groot is een relatief begrip. Het wordt pas zinvol in een bepaalde context. Iets is bijvoorbeeld groot binnen een populatie / verzameling, of in verhouding tot wat men zou verwachten. Zo noemt men een persoon van 2,25 meter groot, maar een toren van 10 meter klein. Tegenover relatief staat absoluut of nominaal. (nl)
