Types of Meaning
Phonological Meaning

Phonology is the study of

sounds.
It requires that we focus on
distinctive sounds or signals
that form a word so that we
can arrive at word meaning.
 Differences in word meaning
may be attributed to the
differences in the vowel sounds,
consonant sounds, stress, pause or
intonations.
Types of Meaning
Semantic
Meaning
 Semantic is relating to meaning
or arising from distinctions between
the meanings of different words or
symbols”.

Homonyms are words with

similar sounds but they differ
in meaning.
 Homonyms
Examples:

Site-cite-sight soul-sole
Boat-both dawn-don
Night-knight meat-meet
Plight-flight
 Heteronyms

Heteronyms are words with

similar spelling but have
different pronunciations and
different meanings.
 Heteronyms
Examples:

1. Please excuse me because I will

just give an excuse letter to my
adviser.
 Heteronyms

learned brother.
 Heteronyms

An affix is a morpheme (syllable)
that is added to a rootword to form a
new word. An affix can either be a
derivational or inflectional affix.
 Derivational Affix

when added to a rootword changes
its meaning. Some examples of
derivational affixes are: -tion, pre-,
pro-, re-, -ic, -hood, -er/-or, -ment,
anti-, and trans-

 Inflectional Affix
-a morpheme which when added to
a root word does not change its
meaning. Generally, only inflectional
suffixes are added to the root
words. These include –s/-es (used
to form plural nouns); -er/-est, more
 Inflectional Affix
and most (used to form the
comparative and superlative form of
adjectives and adverbs and past
tense –d/-ed.
 Compound words
These consist of two words that are
joined together to create a new
word with a new meaning.
 Distinguish the meaning of
compound words.
1. a. Some diplomats will visit the
White House for a courtesy call to
the US President.

words in a sentence (word order) helps
us to make meaning.
