Vocabulary
The words of a language, including
single items and phrases or chunks of several words which convey a particular
meaning, the way individual words do (Lessard-Clouston, 2013)
The importance of vocabulary
Vocabulary is the best single indicator of intellectual ability and an accurate predictor of success at school. -- W.B. Elley
“Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic.” – J.K. Rowling’s Dumbledore
“A word is a microcosm of human consciousness” - Vigotsky
Because each new word has to be studied and learned on its own, the larger your vocabulary becomes, the easier it will be to connect a new word with words you already know, and thus remember its meaning. So your learning speed, or pace, should increase as your vocabulary grows. -- Johnson O'Connor
“Without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed” - Wilkins
“Lexis is the core or heart of language” - Lewis
We think with words, therefore to improve thinking, teach vocabulary. -- A. Draper and G. Moeller
