3 Unit IV Lesson 18 Latin Bases loqu, locut = speak, talk Part C: Reading for Meaning Read and Reason Directions: Read the passage, paying special attention to all the words with the bases loqu, locut, verb. Then, answer the questions that follow. Can You Spell This? Each year, finalists in the Scripps-Howard National Spelling Bee vote on their favorite words from among the thousands on their spelling lists. In 2009, favorite words were: weissnichtwo (German): an indefinite, unknown, or imaginary place humuhumukunukuapuaa (Hawaiian): a small Hawaiian fish Imagine having to verbalize words like this, let alone spell them! Each spring, between 250 and 300 finalists meet in Washington, D.C. to compete in a spelling bee for cash and scholarship prizes. The National Spelling Bee began in 1925 in an effort to develop enthusiasm for spelling, which was thought to be a dull subject. The Scripps-Howard News Service took charge of the Bee in There were nine spellers in the first Bee. The winning word was gladiolus (a type of flower). In 2009, there were 293 spellers in the finals, and the winning word was laodicean (an adjective meaning uncommitted ). Spellers who make it to the finals have coaches, much like star athletes. In fact, preliminary rounds of the Bee are televised on sports channels. Most spellers do not attempt to memorize words. There are simply too many. Instead, they focus on word origins and the spellings associated with them. Contestants often ask, Is this word of Greek or Latin origin? They also learn Greek and Latin prefixes, suffixes, and their meanings. Many contestants use nonverbal devices to help them remember words. The 2009 winner, Karya Shivashankar, a middle school student from Kansas, spelled words by writing them with a finger on her hand before enunciating them. This was her winning strategy! 1. Why do you think Spelling Bee contestants study Greek and Latin roots? 2. Why do you think interest in the Spelling Bee has grown over the years? 106

What colloquium topics will be of interest to you when you are in college? 4. What makes a speaker eloquent? 5. What s the difference between a soliloquy and merely talking to oneself? 6. What s the difference between a grandiloquent speech and a verbose one? 107
