B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
Blended words are common in writing. They are words formed by combining parts
of two different words. The most common example occurs when the beginning part of a
word is combined with the end part of another word.
For example, the words sweep and wipe can be combined this way to form SWIPE. Smoke
and fog also become SMOG. However, other word combinations do not always require this
pattern since the word Interpol is formed not by combining the beginning and ending parts
but by both the beginning and initial syllables of their original words which are international
and police.

2. Discussion and Analysis

choices below.

1. My officemate is a workaholic who almost never takes time off.

A. tireless worker B. frontline worker C. drunkard D. wine expert
2. I added an emoticon to my comments on Facebook.

letter font D. coded message

Notice the following:

Workaholic Emoticon Chillax internet.
What can you say about the words?
 Blended words are formed by blending. What is blending?
 Blending refers to the process of joining a part of one word and a part of
another to form a new word with a new meaning.

 Blended words are usually created in one of two ways:

1. By adding the first part of the first word to the second part of the second word
Example:
smoke + fog = smog
chill + relax = chillax

2. By combining the beginning of the two words

Example:
motor + pedal = moped
cybernetic + organism = cyborg

Other examples of blended words are:

emoticon (emotion + icon)
infotech (information + technology)
frenemy (friend + enemy)
In inferring or “guessing” the meaning of unfamiliar blended word, you can look for
context clues in the sentence where the blended word is used. Context clues are hints that a
writer provides to help the readers get the meaning of a difficult or unusual word in a
sentence. The clue may appear within the same sentence where the word is used, or it may
be found in the next sentence. Context clues may be in the form of a synonym (repeat
context clue), an antonym (contrast context clue), an explanation (definition context clue),
or a specific example (example context clue).

Let us try the examples below:

1. I need to chillax due to my hard days. A beach resort is the best place to take a rest.
Rest is the context clue. It has the same meaning (synonym) with the blended word
chill and relax (chillax).
2. My brother is a workaholic who never takes time off, while my friend is a lazy fellow who
always plays gadgets.
A learner could infer that the word workaholic means a person who is always working
because the word lazy used to describe the friend shows an opposite meaning (antonym).
In addition, the word while signals a shift in thought which is not the same as the first

you choose? What do we call these words that become shorter without changing
their meaning?

B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
Most of us like to make things simple. In speech and in writing, we often shorten words
to make them easier to say, write, remember, and understand. Instead of saying “I want to
wear pantaloons today,” one would always say, “I want to wear pants today.” Likewise, you
often hear people say “math” instead of “mathematics.” It seems that people prefer to use
the shorter and simpler version of the word.
Words like math, burger, mart, and pants are what we call clipped words.
Clipped words are words that have been shortened or “clipped” so that they become much
shorter than the original words. Clipped words retain the meaning of the longer word. The
process in which a word is reduced or shortened without changing the meaning of the word
is called clipping.
To give you better idea about clipped words, you need to be familiar with its different types.

Types of Clipping
Read and understand the meaning of each type.
1. Backclipping– Only the first part of the word is left intact.
Examples: bra (brassiere) app (application)
2. Foreclipping– Only the last part of the word remains.
Examples: phone (telephone) gator (alligator)
3. Middle Clipping–Only the middle part of the word stands.
Example: flu (influenza)
Other examples:
