What This Module is About
Words play an important role in expressing our emotions and ideas to others
during the act of communication. In our daily use of language, we are often unaware
of word formation processes which create or form new words in a language. Most of

your vocabulary through word formation processes as it is being explained based on
certain rules.

Lesson Compounding and Blending
1
What I Need to Know

At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:

 explain the meaning of word through word formation:
compounding and blending

What’s In

Word formation is making a

new word. The creation of a
new word uses many methods
and the process of forming new
words show the constantly
changing nature of language.

x
 What’s New

Task 1. Pictures on the go!

Here are the pictures that can create a number of possible compound words.
Write down all the compound words that can be made from a specific root
word.

Ex. handshake 1. water__________

handmade _______________
handball _______________
handbag _______________
_______________

2. head__________ 3. sea__________
_______________ ______________
_______________ ______________
_______________ ______________
_______________ ______________

Task 2.Guess what is the picture all about. Combine two words (blending some
sounds)
to make portmanteau words (compound/blended words).

smoke + fog = smog

1. __________ + ________ = ___________

2. __________ + __________ = ____________

xi
 Task 3. Put two words together and blend or omit a few sounds to make
compound/blended word.

Ex. chill + relax = chillax

friend + enemy =
television + marathon =
car + hijack =
situation + comedy =
Stay + vacation =

What Is It

Compounding is the formation of word out of two or more words combine into a
single
new word. Compound words may be written as one word or as two
words
joined with a hyphen. The two words don’t lose their individual sounds.

Examples:

mailman handbag
high school fingerprint
notebook sky-dive
fireplace doorknob

Note that compounds are written in various ways in English. They may be written in three
types:
1. Open Compound Words (with a space between the elements as in disc jockey, hot
dog…)
2. Closed Compound Words (simply with the two roots run together with no separation
as in
wallpaper, playground…)
3. Hyphenated Compound Words (with the hyphen between the elements as in part-
time,
mother-in- law…)

xii
Task 4 Underline and indicate the type of compound words used in the sentence. Write it on
the
space provided.
_________ 1. Anna is asleep in her bedroom.
_________ 2. Five months have passed and it has been a bittersweet quiet.
_________ 3. Pregnant women should try sugar-free products to satisfy their intense
cravings.
_________ 4. Her eyes behind the glasses looked like the full moon shining into two
windows.
_________ 5. Bluetooth will allow people to be more innovative with the communications.

Blending is the word formation process in which parts of two or more words
combine to
create a new word whose meaning is often a combination of the original
words.
Below are examples of blending words.
breakfast + lunch = brunch
smoke + fog = smog
news + broadcast = newscast
cybernetic + organism = cyborg
web + seminar = webinar
Task 5. Underline the blended word in the sentence. Then, identify the combination
of
blended words. Write your answer on the space provided. The first one is done for
you.

ex. Our family always have brunch together on Sunday.

breakfast + lunch = brunch

1. John decided to take his vacation time at home and just take a staycation.

What Is It

Clipping – it is a word formation process when a word of more than one syllable is
reduced to a shorter form. It is called clipping because you “clip off” one
part
from the rest.
xix
 Examples:
advertisement – ad
gasoline -- gas
telephone – phone
influenza – flu

phone (tele + phone)

Acronyms are formed by taking the initial letters of a phrase and making a word out
of
it.
Examples:

ASAP – As Soon As Possible

AWOL – Absent Without Leave
LASER – Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission Of Radiation
NASA – National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Folk Etymology refers to the changing of a word or a phrase over time which results
from the replacement of an unfamiliar form by a more familiar one. That is
to
say, the study of origin and history of words and the changes in their form
and meaning.

Example:
Female from the Old French word “femelle”
Bridegroom from the Old English word “Bryd-guman"
Cockroach from the Spanish word “cucaracha”
