vocabulary size

Vocabulary size refers to the total number of words a person knows and can recognize or use. It varies depending on factors like age, education, and exposure to language. A larger vocabulary allows for more precise communication and better understanding of texts. For example, someone with a vocabulary of 10,000 words can understand and express ideas more expressively than someone with 2,000 words. Vocabulary size is an important aspect of language proficiency and can be expanded through reading, conversation, and learning new words. It provides a measure of one’s linguistic knowledge and ability to engage with complex ideas.
