Download or read book Roots of English written by Paul O'Brien and published by . This book was released on 2008-06-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Memoria Press: We are often asked if we have a program that includes the study of both Latin and Greek roots. We do now! Roots of English is an introduction to English, designed for students as young as third grade, but it is also a great test prep program for older students planning on taking any test with a vocabulary section. Most of the Latin roots covered in this book correspond to the Latina Christiana I Latin vocabulary set. The course also introduces Greek roots commonly found in English words. Words with Latin and Greek roots are longer and more difficult than the short words for ordinary objects that form the first layer of an English-speaking child s vocabulary. Their meanings are more nuanced, more specialized. In order to acquire these words and learn how to use them appropriately, a young student needs to understand the meanings of their roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Roots of English presents careful analysis of these word elements so that the student learns not only the modern meanings of the words but also their underlying, ancient meanings. Context exercises and periodic quizzes help the student learn the correct and appropriate uses of these words. Roots of English may be used along with Latina Christiana I Latin course. Roots of English is, in part, a presentation of the basic Latin roots introduced in Memoria Press Book of Roots I, but with the addition of the basic Greek roots."

Download or read book Greek and Latin Roots written by Martin Duran and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 60 percent of all English words have Greek or Latin roots. In the vocabulary of the sciences and technology, the figure rises to over 90 percent. About 10 percent of the Latin vocabulary has found its way directly into English without an intermediary (usually French).This handbook is designed to increase and consolidate the English vocabulary of Greco-Latin origin. It is divided into two practically equal sections, which present, respectively, the vocabulary of Latin origin and that of Greek origin.Each of these sections begins with a list of the main English roots derived from Latin or Greek. These roots, unlike other handbooks, are classified according to the order of Latin or Greek grammar. That is, they are presented by grammatical categories (nouns, adjectives, verbs, etc.). Within each grammatical category, the structure of Latin or Greek grammar is followed: name of the declension, type of verb, etc. Thanks to this, the reader can more easily grasp the similarity between English and Latin or Greek words.After this list of roots, there is a section of prefixes and suffixes of Latin or Greek origin. Affixes are a very important mechanism for building new words. In Latin and Greek, they were very productive, and English has inherited this productivity, which coexists with other mechanisms typical of its Germanic origin. Greco-Latin affixes are still alive and many new words being created use them.Finally, in the section on Greek etymologies, a chapter groups Greek and Latin terminology according to the semantic field. In this way, the reader can observe and practice the areas in which Latin and Greek have been most decisive: medicine, botany, social sciences, etc.In each of these sections, there are review and consolidation exercises. These exercises are intended to be varied and insist on the most important roots that should be thoroughly understood.Not all the words presented throughout the book are equally important. Some belong to the everyday lexicon, while others are only found in very specialized contexts. We have decided to present the maximum number of words, to understand the impact of the Greco-Latin influence, and to facilitate their memorization, by grouping all the words from the same root. The book has an answer key at the end.

Download or read book Dictionary of Root Words written by Manik Joshi and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-01-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are "Root Words"? -- A root, or root word is a word which is used to form another word. It is also called a base word. A root does not have a prefix (a letter or group of letters added to the beginning of a word) or a suffix (a letter or group of letters added to the end of a word). Root is the primary lexical unit of a word, and of a word family. For example, pure is a root. By adding prefixes and suffixes, the following words could be made: impure, purity, pureness. Similarly, play and move are root words. By adding prefixes and suffixes, the following words could be made: plays, played, playing, player | moving, movement, moved, movable, mover, movingly. In this book, I have given the most common Greek and Latin roots which are used in English language.
