VOCABULARY A person's vocabulary is the set of
words within a language that are familiar to that person.
A vocabulary usually develops with age, and serves as a useful and fundamental tool for communication and acquiring knowledge
Vocabulary is commonly defined as "all the words known and used by a particular person"
IMPORTANCE OF VOCABULARY An extensive vocabulary aids expression
and communication. Vocabulary size has been directly linked
to reading comprehension. Linguistic vocabulary is synonymous with
thinking vocabulary. A person may be judged by others based
on his or her vocabulary. Wilkinson (1972) once said," Without
grammar, very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed."
