Abstract

Author's summary.— (Part I) The proportion of words whose meaning can be derived by inference in a context is much higher than is generally assumed. (Part II) The guessing of word meanings by inference involves a series of mental processes which can be analysed and classified so they can be used in teaching the technique to the students. (Part III) The author gives the reproduction verbatim of a lesson in which the students are shown some of the techniques by which word meanings can be guessed by inference.
