Quiz 1 is worth 100 points total and will have FIVE (5) parts:

Terms. Know the terms we have discussed so far in the class: cognate/s, derivative, doublet/s, etymology, definition, root/base, affix, prefix, assimilation, euphony, vowel gradation, acronym, back formation, aph(a)eresis. You will be asked either to match each to its definition or to define TWO (2) of the terms and give an example of it. (8 pts.)

Linguistics. Question/s based on linguistics, drawn from the Introduction (Ayers, pp. 1-14). Focus on the history of linguistics, e.g. which languages belong to the Indo-European family. (10 pts.)

Bases. Identify and define the FOUR (4) BASES in words of Latin derivation. (16 pts.; 4 pts. @ [2 pts./BASE, 2 pts./definition]). Any proper form of the BASE listed in the book will receive full credit.

Prefixes. Identify and define the FOUR (4) prefixes in words of Latin derivation. (16 pts.; 4 pts. @ [2 pts./prefix, 2 pts./definition]). Any proper form of the prefix listed in the book will receive full credit.

Sentences. Analyze and define the BASES and prefixes in FOUR (4) words of Latin derivation. These words will be presented on the quiz in sentences which you have not seen before. Then give each word's part of speech (i.e. noun, adjective, verb, etc.) and its definition in context. (50 pts. total):

• 2 pts./BASE;
• 2 pts./definition of BASE;
• 2 pts./prefix;
• 2 pts./definition of prefix;
• 1 pt./part of speech;
• 1 pt./definition of the word in context (full credit for a reasonable attempt and putting the definition in the proper part of speech).

NOTA BENE: Throughout the quiz, you must use the proper format in identifying word elements: CAPS followed by a dash for BASES, and lower-case letters plus a dash for prefixes.
