Context clues are hints that can be used by a reader to decipher the meanings of new or obscure words that are found in a sentence, paragraph, or passage.
Since a dictionary may not always be available when a reader comes across an unfamiliar word, the most practical way to increase vocabulary is through learning the meaning of a word through its use in a phrase or paragraph.
- The reader needs to be aware of the fact that many words can mean many things. The reader can only choose a definition that fits the context by being aware of the context in which a word is employed.
- When an obvious hint to meaning is given or when only a broad understanding of the meaning is required for the reader's aims, the reader should rely on context clues. When a specific definition is necessary, when context clues point to many definitions, when new words are present nearby, or when the unknown word is one that is frequently used and will come up again, a dictionary should be examined.
- A formal definition of the new phrase may be provided, or the context of the sentence or the sentence that follows may provide adequate explanation. The phrase "that is," commas, dashes, and parentheses all serve as definitional hints.
