SIZE AND DEPTH OF WORD KNOWLEDGE: THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES AND CHALLENGES
Abstract
Vocabulary replenishment is very important when learning a language. Linguistic and sociolinguistic aspects of vocabulary development and enrichment have been in the center of attention of linguists for the last 30 years. Their analysis provides a better understanding of trends in language development in general. Seek a better understanding of lexical knowledge From a theoretical point of view, it is impossible to give a single general definition of the size of vocabulary or the depth of knowledge of vocabulary. The study also identified some problems in the study of vocabulary.
