Explanation:
Context clues are hints found within a sentence, paragraph, or
passage that a reader can use to understand the meanings of new or
unfamiliar words.
Learning the meaning of a word through its use in a sentence or
paragraph is the most practical way to build vocabulary, since a dictionary is
not always available when a reader encounters an unknown word.
A reader must be aware that many words have several possible meanings. Only by being
sensitive to the circumstances in which a word is used can the reader decide upon an appropriate
definition to fit the context.
A reader should rely on context clues when an obvious clue to meaning is provided, or when
only a general sense of the meaning is needed for the reader’s purposes. Context clues should not be
relied upon when a precise meaning is required, when clues suggest several possible definitions,
when nearby words are unfamiliar, and when the unknown word is a common one that will be
needed again; in these cases, a dictionary should be consulted.
There are several different types of context clues. Some of them are:
1. DEFINITION / DESCRIPTION CLUE
The new term may be formally defined, or sufficient explanation may be given within the
sentence or in the following sentence. Clues to definition include “that is,” commas, dashes,
and parentheses.
Examples:
a. His emaciation, that is, his skeleton-like appearance, was frightening to see.
“Skeleton-like appearance” is the definition of “emaciation.”
b. Fluoroscopy, examination with a fluoroscope, has become a common practice.
The commas before and after “examination with a fluoroscope” point out the definition of
“fluoroscopy.”
c. The dudeen – a short-stemmed clay pipe – is found in Irish folk tales.
The dashes setting off “a short-stemmed clay pipe” point out the definition of “dudeen.”
2. EXAMPLE CLUES
Sometimes when a reader finds a new word, an example might be found nearby that helps to
explain its meaning. Words like including, such as, and for example, point out example
clues.
Examples:
a. Piscatorial creatures, such as flounder, salmon, and trout, live in the coldest parts of the
ocean.
“Piscatorial” obviously refers to fish.
b. Celestial bodies, including the sun, moon, and stars, have fascinated man through the
centuries.
“Celestial” objects are those in the sky or heaven
