Learning new words
There are millions of words in the English language.
How can anyone learn that many words? It
takes me ages to learn even a few new words
and their meanings.
It is virtually impossible to learn every word in our language. However, when you see a new word, it is often possible to give an educated guess at its meaning because of certain patterns and rules that are followed.

Learning new words
A lot of long words can be broken down into smaller segments. For example:
Even though you may not know what a word means, you may know the meanings or implications of the smaller chunks and so can guess at its meaning.
disadvantageous
advantage -ousdis-
e.g. disobey, dissimilar, distasteful
e.g. beauteous, mountainous, horrendous
What do you think ‘disadvantageous’ means?

Stems/roots
Prefixes and suffixes are attached to the stem, or root, of the word. The same root can often take many different prefixes and suffixes and many have classical origins. This means that some meanings are easier to guess than others.

Connotations
Words do not just have meanings; they also have connotations. Connotations are the ideas or feelings that words evoke that may be in addition to their meanings.
For example, ‘rabbit’ and ‘bunny’ have identical meanings but ‘bunny’ might make you think of a smaller, sweeter creature. It might also make you think that the speaker is either a young child or addressing one.
The connotations of a word form part of its meaning.
What connotations do these words have for you? (What do they make you think of?)
winter birth smile shiver

Context
The exact meaning of a word is affected not only by its connotations, but also by the context in which it is used.
For example, the words ‘big’ and ‘small’ can be used to describe objects of different sizes, depending on what they are referring to – a big wasp is still a lot smaller than a small house, for example.
In other words, the exact meanings of the words ‘big’ and ‘small’ are dependent on their contexts (context-dependent).
Can you think of any other words whose exact meanings
are context-dependent?

Context
The meanings of many words are dependent on the contexts in which they are found. Read the sentences below and then define the highlighted word in two ways according to the contexts it is in.
I broke a window playing football
yesterday.
If you click on the icon in the corner of your
screen, it should bring up a window telling
you what to do.
I think I’d like to learn to play the
organ… Your skin is the largest organ in
your body.
I can’t talk for long so I’ll just
be brief…My teacher didn’t
like the design brief I wrote for
Technology.
Mrs Thomson is going to be
our exam monitor today.
My computer monitor is going to cost nearly £100 to fix after Tom spilt
juice on it.
Which other words can you think of that have different meanings in different contexts? Think particularly about words that are specific to certain subjects.
