WHAT IS IT?

In order for you to discover the meaning of a word in the sentence or paragraph without
using a dictionary, you must learn how to use context clues.
What are context clues?

Context clues are words or bits of information in the surrounding text that might be
used to derive the meaning of an unknown word. There are five types of context clues.
These include definition or restatement, example, synonyms, antonyms, and inferring
meaning.

Five Types of Context Clues

1. Definition or restatement

Words and punctuation marks that signal a restatement or definition include: is,
who is, which is, that is, in other words or dashes, commas, and parentheses.

Example: The Philippines is considered a melting pot which is a place where people of
different races, religion, beliefs, and tradition blend together as one.
The word melting pot means a place where people of different races, religion,
beliefs, and tradition blend together as one. You are able to give meaning to the unfamiliar
word which is melting pot by analyzing the sentence. The “which is” signals that the words
that follow are the definition of the unfamiliar word. The context clue in the sentence is which
is a place where people of different races, religion, beliefs, and tradition blend together as
one is the meaning of the word. Take note of the signal words.

2. Example

A new word is related to a familiar word or words. The new word may be an
example of a familiar term or the familiar term may be an example of the new word.

Example: One of their trademarks is hospitality like welcoming the guests with a big smile
and treating them warmly.

Notice that in the sentence, the unfamiliar word is hospitality. Ways on how
Filipinos entertain visitors are stated after the word hospitality which signals the meaning of
the unfamiliar word. The context clue is like welcoming the guest with a big smile and
treating them warmly. Thus, the word hospitality means being welcoming, pleasant and
warm to visitors.

3. Synonyms

A word with a similar meaning to the new word is included in the context.

Example: This diverse and varied culture makes Filipinos unique from the rest of the world.

As you analyze the sentence, Filipino culture is unique because it is varied. So,
diverse and varied mean the same. The context clue is varied. In other words, diverse
means varied or consists of different cultures.

4. Antonyms

A word opposite in meaning to the new word appears in the same sentence or in
one nearby. Often, the antonym appears in the same position in the sentence as does the
new word.

Example: Despite of the modern influence, they still retain their traditional practices.

The word traditional and modern have opposite meaning. The context clue is
modern which is signaled by the word despite. Thus, traditional means old practices.

5. Inferring Meaning
Sometimes, even without specific clues, you can infer the meaning of the word
through the other words in the context.

Example: They don’t easily give up as resilience is one of their traits.

In order to draw out the meaning of resilience, one must analyze the sentence well.
You would infer that Filipinos don’t easily give up. The context clue is don’t easily give up.
Thus, resilience means being able to get up or recover in times of failure.

C. Engagement WHAT’S MORE?
