The document discusses prefixes and suffixes and how they can be used to build vocabulary. It explains that prefixes and suffixes can be added to base words to create new words and change their meanings. Some common prefixes and suffixes and their meanings are provided. Examples are given to illustrate how understanding affixes can help with comprehending new words and identifying parts of speech. The document emphasizes that learning prefixes and suffixes is helpful for vocabulary development.
In English, when two nouns go together in a specified order they are called binomials. If three go together they are call trinomials. Examples of this might be ‘aches and pains’, ‘last but not least’ and ‘cool, calm and collected’.
As you can see the nouns are often linked by conjunction such as ‘and’, ‘or’ and ‘but’. It is important that the order of the nouns is correct and that synonyms are not used for the nouns. This is because these words together create meaningful phrases which are spoken and written throughout English usage.
Learning binomials can be a fun way of expanding your English vocabulary. The combinations often create meaning that vary distinctly from the common usage of the nouns in the phrase. These are idioms and expressions and they are the hardest part of English for new learners to understand.

One way to learn new words is to be aware of the way English words are formed. Many words are usually made up of three parts: a prefix, a stem and a suffix. You can use this knowledge to increase your vocabulary.

Pragmatics and Discourse , context & speech actsNaeemIqbal88
Pragmatics and Discourse
What is pragmatics?
An approach within DA which concentrates on the way language
acquires meaning in use. It has developed from the tradition of the
philosophy of language known as pragmatics.
Focus: The study of contextualised meaning and is concerned with
describing the principles that underlie how we interpret the meaning
behind words: how we get from what we say to what we mean.
Pragmatic approaches tend to be interested in the 'big picture': trying
to formulate generalisable principles about how people produce and
interpret discourse (eg’ the use of humour in business meetings’).
Context
Context is an important concept in DA. Language does not take place in a vacuum and we
need to consider the context in which it occurs in order to understand it.
However, this seemingly unproblematic statement masks the issues and debates that are
ongoing in discourse analysis around the concept of context and its significance.
Two types of context
The 'intrinsic' or 'linguistic' context which refers to information that can be found
within the text that surrounds the language that is being analysed at a particular
moment. It is generally agreed that this type of context is not only useful but essential.
The more problematic type of context lies outside the actual text: what is sometimes
called 'extrinsic' (Schegloff 1997) or 'experiential' context.
This refers to all sorts of information about setting, situation, social circumstances of the
participants such as age, gender, ethnicity and possibly also about the shared
background knowledge and assumptions of the participants.
So, in the example:
'Later, an item about vasectomy and the results of the do-it-yourself competition'
(from Cameron 2001:12)
 The issue with extrinsic context is moving from description to interpretation in
research. Along with describing 'what' is happening in the discourse , it is also
important to interpret 'why' it is happening.
 Extrinsic contextual evidence can be potentially very useful in discussing why
participants say a particular thing in a particular way at a particular time,
however, there is also a danger of 'reading too much into the text' and of
judging which out of many possible interpretations is the 'right' one.
For instance, if the analyst is aware of gender, age or ethic difference among
discourse participants, these variables may well appear to influence the
discourse but how do we know which of these particular variables are
important to the participants in an particular communicative event.
 This is not to say that we should ignore extrinsic context but to suggest that we
need to be cautious about what we select as significant and rigorous about how
we incorporate it into our analyses. Schegloff (1997) advises that the best
option is to use only what can be shown to be relevant to participants.
 Can you imagine a meaningful context for this text?

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Vocabulary building: Sufixes and Prefixes
1. VOCABULARY BUILDING
1. Prefixes and Suffixes.
In this presentation, students will be able to
recognize the most common prefixes and
suffixes in English and how they change the
meaning of words.
Prof. Julio Palma
2. PREFIXES AND SUFFIXES
You can add prefixes and suffixes to
create new words. This is called word
derivation.
You can understand new vocabulary by
knowing the meaning of these affixes.
You can also produce new terms by
adding affixes to a base word.
3. 1.Prefixes
Add a prefix to create new words.
Prefixes change the meaning of words. Examples:
Happy Unhappy
Agree Disagree
Byte Megabyte
4. 1.a. Some common prefixes
Prefix Meaning Example
anti- against antibiotic
inter- between interconnection
il-, in-, im-, ir-, un- not invisible
micro‐ small microscope
sub‐ under submarine
a‐, an‐ not, without apolitical
de-, dis‐ not disconfort
para‐ false, related to paramilitar
hyper‐ over hypertension
over- a lot overpopulation
mono‐ one, singular nomochromatic
5. WHY IS IT HELPFUL TO LEARN PREFIXES?
• Prefixes will help us to understand the meaning of a
word in a sentence.
• If you know the meaning of a prefix found in a strange
word, you partially understand the meaning of that
word.
For example:
• New manual explains the rules of cyberwarfare.
• Their action caused unforeseen consequences.
6. 2. Suffixes
Suf fixes change the “part of speech” and the meaning.
Happy (adjective) Happiness (noun)
Agree (verb) Agreement (noun)
Easy (adjective) Easily (adverb)
Health (noun) Healthy (adjective)
7. 2.a. Common suffixes
Suffix Meaning Added to base Example
-able, -ible able to confort corfortable
-ful full of hope hopeful
-ic characteristic of electricity electric
-less without color colorless
-ly manner of order orderly
-ion, -tion, - act, process atract occasion, attraction
ation, ition
-ment action, process joy enjoyment
-ness state of dark darkness
-ity, -ty state of tranquil tranquility
-er one who drive driver
-en perform white whiten
8. 2.b. Suffixes in words.
You can decipher the meaning of words if you know some
suffixes. Suffixes can also give you clues about the part of
speech that the word belongs to.
For example:
• The prime minister made a statement to the press.
• The old computer is useless. It doesn’t work properly.
• The sky was cloudful.
9. 3. Prefixes and suffixes
Happy (Base word) Unhappiness (new term)
Can you identify the base word in these derived forms?
1. Imperceptible 5.
4. Bimonthly
2. Unfriendly 6. Miscalculation
3. Decentralize 6.
7. Unlucky
4 . antidisestablishmentarianism
10. Prefixes and suffixes in words
New term gotten after affixes were added to a base word
1. Imperceptible 5.4. Bimonthly
Bimonthly
2. Unfriendly 6.
5. Miscalculation
3. Decentralize 7.6. Unlucky
Unlucky
4 . antidisestablishmentarianism
12. Examples of affixes in phrases and sentences

the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development).
14. WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED:
Knowing affixes (prefixes and suffixes) will allow
you to:
1. Understand how words are derived in English.
2. Figure out the meaning of new words.
3. Recognize word “families” based on the affixes
attached.
4. Be able to create new vocabulary.
5. Expand your vocabulary.
