Homographs & Heteronyms


Book Description

Grade Level: 4-6 Making sense of multiple-meaning words. The 25 lessons in this book are designed to give students plenty of practice recognizing and using homographs and heteronyms in written and oral communication. Activities ranging from matching meanings to completing sentences work to stimulate awareness of the multiple meanings a single word can have and how pronunciation changes the meaning of like words. Example: - They tied a BOW on the present. - Robin Hood used a BOW and arrows. ​- The star came on stage to take a BOW. Exercises increase in difficulty as students progress. A list of homographs not used in the lessons is included so teachers can design their own activities.




Fun With Scrabble Homonyms and Beyond: Guide to Pronunciation


Book Description

I came up with this idea upon noticing the Scrabble dictionaries did not have the pronunciations so I thought of making it into a fun book and at the same time helping the reader/player recall certain words such as blagging, cwm, mux, offal, stonking, and woopie, including my attempt at using them in the same sentence. With over 2,000 sets of homonyms and more than 5,000 words, I also have bonuses at the end of the book to add some more fun.

Funny Words in Plautine Comedy


Book Description

Combining textual and literary evidence, this book argues that many Plautine jokes, puns, and names of characters were misunderstood in antiquity. By examining the comedian's tendency to make up and misuse words, Fontaine elucidates many new jokes and argues for a sophisticated, Hellenistic Plautus who wrote for a sophisticated Roman audience.
