B. ENGAGEMENT Motivation
(Get the learners’ Present two speeches: one containing clipped words
minds focused on and the other containing unclipped words. Ask: Which
the topic) (15 speech is more appropriate to present at an elocution
minutes) contest? Which one is more appropriate to share with
friends?

Presentation:
Clipped words refer to words formed by deleting one
or more syllables from a larger word or phrase without
changing its meaning.

Study how these words are formed by clipping.

A B
mountain - mount telephone - phone
astronaut - astro alligator - gator

What part of the words in A has been deleted?

What part of the words in B has been dropped? You
can infer the meaning of an unfamiliar clipped word
using context clues such as a synonym or antonyms
that may be found around it in a passage or a
sentence.
 The principal issued a memo to serve as pupil’s
reminder on bullying.

What is the unclipped form of the word memo? What

does memo mean? How did you know? What word in
the sentence means the same as memo?
Reminder is a synonym of memo.
• A word may be clipped or shortened by deleting
either the beginning or end part. Some clipped words
are accepted in formal writing but others are not. One
can infer or decode the meaning of a clipped word if
he/she knows its full form.
• When decoding the meaning of an
unfamiliar clipped word, look for context clues that
may be used in the sentence. These clues may be a
synonym or antonym of that clipped word.

Types of Clipping:
1. Backclipping-is the loss of one or more
syllables at the end of the word. Examples:
bra-brassiere
memo-memorandum

2. Foreclipping- refers to the omission of one or

more syllables or at the beginning of the word.
Examples: phone – telephone
sample – example

3. Middle Clipping (Syncope)- retains the middle

part of a word, getting the rid of the beginning
and ending parts.
Examples: flu – influenza
tec - detective
4. Complex Clipping – is the shortening of a
compound word by preserving and combining
its initial part
Examples: Forex – foreign
sitcom- situation comedy
