Which of the following is an example of "holistic strategy". Making up a word using proper endings and hope that it works; for instance, trying to describe the act of ‘ironing’ by inventing the word ‘ironise’. thinking of the meaning of the word as a whole and trying to use a word that is the closest approximation; for example, seeking for the word ‘desk’, a student produces ‘table’, which captures all the salient features of ‘desk’ apart from the fact that it is specifically for writing at. breaking up the meaning of the word into parts, and then to convey the parts separately: so a student searching for the word ‘parrot’ says ‘talk uh bird’, taking the two parts ‘bird that talks. Transferring a word from the first to the second language, hoping that it is going to exist in the new language. Thus, a Dutch student trying to say ‘waist’ says ‘middle’ – the Dutch word is in fact ‘middel’.
