2 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. Ever use the word AUTOGRAPH? AUTO means self. GRAPH means write. Ever use the word PREDICT? PRE means before. DICT means say or speak. DAY 1 Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph. D. © 2015.

3 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.

4 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 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 -ARCHAE = ancient (You probably know an archaeologist studies old stuff – like Jones? ) GYN = woman (Do you know who goes to Indiana a gynecologist? ) -PHOBIAC = one who has a fear of a phobia is? And (Do you know what 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.

5 Greek Morphemes Introduction Years ago there was no such word as 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 and since the Greek for ship is they called the fellow an (The DAY 1 , , . was added between the two to make pronunciation easier. ) Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H.

6 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– ) are in the middle, can be combined with other roots, and can be “accessorized” with prefixes and suffixes go at the end of a word (for example, – ology) DAY 1 Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph. D. © 2015.

7 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… 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… DAY 1 If there is no suffix, or the suffix indicates a part MICRO- = small speech (e. g. , -y = abstract noun), start with the ancient ARCHAE = of first morpheme – thus, a microarchaegyn would be GYN = woman a small, ancient woman. -PHOBIAC = one who has a fear of Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H.

31 Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Words to Work Part Two: WORDS TO WORK - Applying what you now know. . . Now you are ready to use your knowledge to decode words by. . . (1) …identifying the Greek morphemes and meaning in each word. (2) …synthesizing that knowledge into a possible definition, and (3) …comparing your synthesis to a dictionary definition. Will you be as good as a dictionary? Words to Work 1. anthropophobiac ese h t find 4. . . l l i w.

32 Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Words to Work Part Two: WORDS TO WORK - Applying what you now know. . . 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. . . Then beneath it, one per line, identify the morphemes you find in the word. Next, synthesize your knowledge. . . Finally, compare your knowledge. . . ! S E Y Were we as good as a dictionary? 1. 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 D.

33 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.

34 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.

35 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.

36 Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Context Clues Part Three: CONTEXT CLUES - Hints for a Reader. . . Assignment C has two steps. Assignment C 1: 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. 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 C 2: 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.

37 Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Pencil & Paper Review Part Four: REVIEW. . . Assignment D is a two-step 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. 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.

38 Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Pencil & Paper Review Part Four: REVIEW. . . Now make yourself a set of study cards (refer to page 12). 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 anthrop ONE man; mankind Take a card and write your first morpheme on the front of it. Now turn that card over so the hole is at the bottom, and write the meaning on the back. Set that card aside, and do the same for each of the other morphemes. Now place the card with “Lesson One” written on it on the top of your stack, hook them together with a band or ring, and begin reviewing. If you have a three-ring binder for English materials, hook your cards there for easy access. DAY 4 Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph. D. © 2015.

39 Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – Pencil & Paper Review Part Four: REVIEW. . . When you finish making your set of cards, begin using them to review and check and improve your knowledge. Start with the cards in your hand so that the LESSON ONE card is showing. Flip over the title card and look at the first morpheme – anthrop. LESSON ONE anthrop man or mankind Say silently to yourself the meaning of the morpheme anthrop. Now flip the card over to check yourself against the answer on the back. man; mankind Now flip over that card and do the same with the next one – and the rest. Once you learn them Greek-to-English, try reviewing them English-to-Greek. DAY 4 Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph. D. © 2015.

40 Greek Morphemes – Lesson One – LESSON ONE Pencil & Paper Review In future lessons you will have the opportunity to make these study cards immediately after you take the notes. LESSON TWO LESSON THREE LESSON FOUR LESSON SEVEN LESSON FIVE LESSON EIGHT LESSON SIX NINE LESSON TEN LESSON Thus you will have the cards as a study aid throughout the entire lesson. ELEVEN LESSON TWELVE Whenever you have a bit of extra time, pull out your cards and review. Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H. Harris, Ph. D. © 2015.

41 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. REMEMBER -- If a word has two or more morphemes, and you remember one but not the other, make a PARTIAL DEFINITION for PARTIAL CREDIT. 1. microbibliophobia micro– = small +1 point biblio = book +1 point –phobia = 0 point MD Something to do with small books + 2/3 point DAY 4 TEST PREVIEW equals +2 2/3 points out of 4 Greek Morpheme Lessons, Alene H.
