Word Blends
What are Word Blends?
•A word blend is formed by combining two separate words
with different meanings to form a new one.
•These words are often created to describe a new invention
or phenomenon that combines the definitions or traits of
two existing things.
Ways of creating Word Blends:
•One way is to combine portions of two other words to
make a new one.
•These word fragments are called Morphemes,
the smallest units of meaning in a language.
•The word "camcorder," for example," combines parts of
"camera" and "recorder."
•Word blends can also be created by joining a full word
with a portion of another word (called a Splinter).
•For example,
•the word "motorcade" combines "motor" plus a portion
of "cavalcade."
Ways of creating Word Blends:
•Word blends can also be formed by overlapping or
combining phonemes, which are parts of two words that
sound alike.
•One example of an overlapping word blend is
"Spanglish," which is an informal mix of Spoken English
and Spanish.
Ways of creating Word Blends:
•Blends can also be formed through the omission of
phonemes.
•Geographers sometimes refer to "Eurasia," the landmass
that combines Europe and Asia.
•This blend is formed by taking the first syllable of
"Europe" and adding it to the word "Asia."
Ways of creating Word Blends:
•English is a dynamic language that is constantly evolving.
•Starting in the 20th century, blended words began to
emerge to describe new technologies or cultural
phenomena.
•For instance, we will see how the blended word –
“brunch” was formed.
•And also, other words like, “Chunnel”, “Mansplaining”,
etc…
The Blend Trend:
•Brunch = Breakfast + Lunch
•Chunnel = Channel + Tunnel
•Mansplaining = Man + Explaining
Blended Words:
• Breathalyzer = Breath + Analyzer
• Camcorder = Camera + Recorder
• Emoticon = Emote + Icon
• Motel = Motor Car + Hotel
• Globish = Global + English
• Sitcom = Situation + Comedy
• Workaholic = Work + Alcoholic
More Examples of Word Blends:
•Friend + Enemy = “?”
•Stay + Vacation = “?”
•Infotainment = “?” + “?”
•Telegenic = “?” + “?”
