Correct me if I’m wrong but sometimes it is hard to distinguish the meaning of a new word/deep word in the passage.
So I was thinking that maybe some authors don’t include context clues. Am I wrong or correct?
You’d have to provide an example showing what you mean.
Hi Ms Beeesneees, you mean, no matter how many uncommon words an author includes to his writing, he has to put context clues for the readers to understand without the use of a dictionary.
No, I mean YOU will have to give us an example of what YOU mean.
The pioneers of the teaching of science imagined that its introduction into
education would remove the conventionality,
artificiality, and backward-lookingness which were characteristic;
of classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in
5 their time had the humanists thought that the study of the classical
authors in the original would banish at once the dull pedantry and
superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The professional
schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost
managed to make the understanding of chemical reactions as dull
10 and as dogmatic an affair as the reading of Virgil’s Aeneid.
There is no context clue that tells the meaning of the word Banish.
It’s not a difficult word. A dictionary would give you the meaning and make it clear.
You cannot have what you seem to refer to as a ‘context clue’ for every word written in a text.
