MORPHEMES HAVE MEANING. MORPHEMES HAVE MEANING. Greek Morphemes Introduction So what’s a MORPHEME? You use hundreds of morphemes every day! A morpheme is a part of a word that has meaning. MORPHEMES HAVE MEANING. MORPHEMES HAVE MEANING. Ever use the word AUTOGRAPH? AUTO means self. GRAPH means write. Ever use the word PREDICT? PRE means before. DICT means say or speak.

– all you need to do is “wake it up.” Greek Morphemes Introduction In English, big words are often made of small word parts, called morphemes, that come from other languages – especially Greek. You probably have a lot of this morpheme knowledge “asleep” in your brain – all you need to do is “wake it up.” – all you need to do is “wake it up.” When you know the meanings of these small word parts, you can unlock the meaning of some real jawbreakers.

MICROARCHAEGYNOPHOBIAC Greek Morphemes Introduction In English, big words are often made of small word parts, called morphemes, that come from other languages – especially Greek. You probably have a lot of this morpheme knowledge “asleep” in your brain – all you need to do is “wake it up.” When you know the meanings of these small word parts, you can unlock the meaning of some real jawbreakers. For example, take the word MICROARCHAEGYNOPHOBIAC You think you have no idea what it means? Once you know the following, you can figure out the word. MICRO- = small (You already know that, don’t you?) So -- one who has a fear of little old ladies ARCHAE = ancient (You probably know an archaeologist studies old stuff – like Indiana Jones?) GYN = woman (Do you know who goes to a gynecologist?) -PHOBIAC = one who has a fear of (Do you know what a phobia is? And so phobiac would be one who has …?) You ask, “Is it a REAL word?” It is if enough people use it. DAY 1 Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph.D. © 2015.

astro naut astr naut astro naut o Greek Morphemes Introduction Years ago there was no such word as astro naut Then this fellow got into a special kind of ship… …and flew closer to the stars than anyone had ever done before. And since the Greek for star is , astr and since the Greek for ship is , naut they called the fellow an . astro naut (The was added between the two to make pronunciation easier.) o DAY 1 Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph.D. © 2015.

Some morphemes are “place bound.” go at the beginning of a word Greek Morphemes Introduction Some morphemes are “place bound.” Just like hats go on top, shoes go on the bottom, and clothes go in the middle… go at the beginning of a word (for example, sym– ) prefixes- are in the middle, can be combined with other roots, and can be “accessorized” with prefixes and suffixes roots go at the end of a word (for example, – ology) -suffixes DAY 1 Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph.D. © 2015.

Some morphemes are “place bound.” prefix- + root(s) + -suffix Greek Morphemes Introduction Some morphemes are “place bound.” Just like hats go on top, shoes go on the bottom, and clothes go in the middle… prefix- + root(s) + -suffix NOTE: In figuring out the meaning of a word, IF it has a content-meaning suffix (e.g., -phobia = fear of), start by saying the suffix and then go back to the beginning and work down. For example… MICRO- = small If there is no suffix, or the suffix indicates a part of speech (e.g., -y = abstract noun), start with the first morpheme – ARCHAE = ancient thus, a microarchaegyn would be a small, ancient woman. GYN = woman -PHOBIAC = one who has a fear of DAY 1 Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph.D. © 2015.

prefix- + root(s) + -suffix Greek Morphemes Introduction Some morphemes are “place bound.” Just like hats go on top, shoes go on the bottom, and clothes go in the middle… prefix- + root(s) + -suffix In each lesson, you’ll start by taking notes on some Greek roots, then add prefixes and suffixes. Turn to page 4 in your Student Book and prepare to take notes on Greek Morphemes Lesson 1 Notes. The roots, prefixes, and suffixes are listed in alphabetical order.

YES! Were we as good as a dictionary? Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Words to Work Part Two: WORDS TO WORK - Applying what you now know... How to “Work a Word” How to “Work a Word” Let’s begin the first assignment together. On page 6, start by writing the first word in the space labeled #1... YES! Then beneath it, one per line, identify the morphemes you find in the word. Next, synthesize your knowledge... Finally, compare your knowledge... Were we as good as a dictionary? anthropophobiac M.D. = “my definition” D.D. = “dictionary definition” anthrop = man; mankind -phobiac = one who has a fear of M.D. = one who has a fear of mankind one who has an intense fear of human society D.D. = Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph.D. © 2015.

Are you as good as a dictionary? Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Words to Work Part Two: WORDS TO WORK - Applying what you now know... “Working Words” Assignment A is to work the first 8 words on page 4 in the numbered spaces on page 6 of your book. For each word, compare and see how close you can come with your knowledge to what the all-knowing dictionary has to say... Are you as good as a dictionary? Tomorrow, be prepared to share how you worked your words. DAY 1 HW Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph.D. © 2015.

Are you as good as a dictionary? Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Words to Work Part Two: WORDS TO WORK - Applying what you now know... “Working Words” continued Assignment B is to work the last 8 words on page 4 in the numbered spaces on page 7 of your book. Again, for each word, compare and see how close you can come with your knowledge to what the all-knowing dictionary has to say... Are you as good as a dictionary? Tomorrow, be prepared to share how you worked your words. DAY 2 HW Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph.D. © 2015.

Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Context Clues Part Three: CONTEXT CLUES - Hints for a Reader... (page 8 in your book) Sometimes when we read, we come across a word we’ve never seen before, and we could use a clue to help us figure it out. There are four main types of clues that often help solve a “mystery word,” and as a writer you can use one of these clues to give your readers a hint for a challenging word: Definition – the meaning is explained in the sentence The aphonic giraffe was incapable of making a vocal sound. Synonym –another word in the sentence means the same thing The final letter e of the word was aphonic, soundless. Antonym – another word in the sentence means the opposite The gorilla was loudly vocal; but the giraffe, aphonic. Examples – another word in the sentence is a specific instance In the words cake, hope, and file, the final letter e is aphonic. DAY 3 Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph.D. © 2015.

Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Context Clues Part Three: CONTEXT CLUES - Hints for a Reader... Assignment C1: Select from 4 to 6 of the 16 words you worked and create a context clue sentence with each (on page 9 in your book). Use at least one clue of each of the four types. This assignment has two steps: Tomorrow you’ll have the opportunity to read one or more of your sentences aloud, saying “blank” for the word you chose, and see if your instructor or another learner can use your clues to identify what word from the Lesson One list belongs in the blanks. Assignment C2: Using the roots, prefixes, and suffixes from Lesson One, create and work two new words. In place of the DD, write a context clue sentence (CCS) for your new word (on page 9 in your book). Tomorrow, you’ll have the opportunity to challenge your instructor or another learner with your created words. DAY 3 HW Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph.D. © 2015.

Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Pencil & Paper Review Part Four: REVIEW... First, practice breaking apart the created words on page 10 by drawing braces and writing meanings above each word (see the first one for an example); then synthesize this knowledge to create a possible definition for each created word. Assignment D is a two-step review. Then, once you have determined morpheme meanings and a possible definition for each “word,” try matching the “funny definitions” on the second review sheet (page 11) with what you have on the first sheet. Hopefully, you’ll get a laugh or two (or possibly a groan) as you figure them out. Tomorrow, we’ll go over the sheets just before taking a quiz on Greek Morphemes Lesson One. The quiz will have about 8 words for you to work through the level of My Definition. DAY 4 HW Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph.D. © 2015.

Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Pencil & Paper Review Now make yourself a set of study cards (refer to page 12). Part Four: REVIEW... In the back of your book you will find twelve sheets of color paper – one for each lesson. To make your study cards, tear out the page for Lesson One, cut it apart on the marked lines, and hole-punch each card in the upper corner as indicated. LESSON ONE Take a card and write your first morpheme on the front of it. anthrop Now turn that card over so the hole is at the bottom, and write the meaning on the back. man; mankind Set that card aside, and do the same for each of the other morphemes.

Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Taking the Quiz Part Five Coming Tomorrow: Demonstrating What You Know... The quiz will have about 8 words for you to work through the MD level. Unless you are told otherwise on a very few words, you do NOT need to memorize a dictionary definition. Most of them will be “real words,” but there may be one or two “created words” as well. There will be one “point” for identifying each morpheme in the words, and one point for synthesizing your knowledge into a definition.
