Semantic Feature Analysis

What Is It?
With a Semantic Feature Analysis chart or grid, one can examine related concepts but make distinctions between them according to particular criteria across which the concepts can be compared.

How Does It Work?
A set of concepts is listed down the left side (or across the top; it doesn't much matter which) and criteria or features are listed across the top (or down the side). If the concept is associated with the feature or characteristic, the student records a Y or a + (plus-sign) in the grid where that column and row intersect; if the feature is not associated with the concept, an N or - (minus-sign) is placed in the corresponding square on the grid. For instance, consider types of government: democracy, dictatorship, monarchy, oligarchy, theocracy, and republic. What might be the characteristics of governments that might be associated with various types?

is a strong information organization tool ... more powerful when students have an opportunity to brainstorm then categorize for themselves before classifying

I think that the Venn diagram entails observing commonalities, not only factual checks.

I think the VD is used to compare/contrast only 2 items (more limited scope).

I think the Venn diagram is great for comparing and contrasting 2 or 3 items. The semantic feature allows a student to analyze trends, sequences, influences and outcomes for multiple items.

are great for generating vocabulary in responses, then discovering the similar/different

I think SFA allows to observe patterns at once easily.
