The Joy of Vocabulary is intended for students whose ultimate goal is to enter a profession - and for all others who love words and delight in making choice additions to their vocabulary.
Preprofessional students need a superior vocabulary to help them distinguish themselves in their undergraduate courses, their graduate school admissions tests, and - eventually - their chosen professions. this book provides materials and procedures to enable them to build that superior vocabulary pleasurably.
For this second edition, each chapter has been carefully reviewed, and where appropriate, revised and enriched. Altogether, some seventy-five words and expressions have been added. A new chapter - Chapter 26 - deals with expressions English has adopted from other languages.
Among the features of this book are that it
- Teaches not only words, but skills - especially the skills of critical thinking, close reading, and concise writing.
- Teaches vocabulary in useful groupings: "Number Words," "People Words," "Body Vocabulary," etc.
- Introduces each chapter with a preview enabling readers to see what they may already know about the words to be presented.
- Provides a model sentence showing how to use each word, allusion, or expression taught.
- Teaches how to derive the meaning of unfamiliar words from context clues.
- Teaches key prefixes and roots as tools for analyzing and building words.
- Demystifies analogy questions and teaches how to deal with them.
- Reinforces learning with abundant, challenging exercises and reviews.
