Study Node - Vocabulary:It is important to increase your vocabulary in English. Every day you should
learn 10 new words.
Vocabulary means not only different words but also different forms of these
words - the Adjective, Noun, Verb and Adverb forms.
It is also a good idea to try to increase the words you know in particular topic
areas so that you can discuss a range of topics. Organization of vocabulary is
important too.
When learning new vocabulary a student of English needs to be aware of the
several aspects of Vocabulary.
Vocabulary consists of:
- Word Forms - the Adjective, Noun, Verb and Adverb forms. Words
change their form depending on their function in a sentence.
- Pronunciation/Stress - in a word with several syllables, which
syllable carries the main stress? Stress conveys meaning.
- Register - some words are more formal and more appropriate than
others. One must choose the most appropriate word for the context.
- Word choice - synonyms (words with similar meaning), opposites,
paraphrase (describing something using a few words). Use a variety of
vocabulary choices.
- Organization - organize your word lists meaningfully; and develop
strategies for remembering new words. This will help you consolidate and
extend your vocabulary.
