What's the difference between generalize and typify?

Generalize


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To apply to other genera or classes; to use with a more extensive application; to extend so as to include all special cases; to make universal in application, as a formula or rule.
  • (v. t.) To derive or deduce (a general conception, or a general principle) from particulars.
  • (v. i.) To form into a genus; to view objects in their relations to a genus or class; to take general or comprehensive views.

Typify


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To represent by an image, form, model, or resemblance.

Example Sentences:
