Question

hey guys I heard there are two kinds of vocabulary is that true and if it's true what are they? what is the difference between both of them? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 4 types of vocabulary:

□ Listening □ Speaking □ Reading  Writing

The first two constitute spoken vocabulary and the last two, written vocabulary. Children

begin to acquire listening and speaking vocabularies many years before they start to build

reading and writing vocabularies. Spoken language forms the basis for written language.

Each type has a different purpose and, luckily, vocabulary development in one type facilitates

growth in another.

Listening Vocabulary:

The words we hear and understand. Starting in the womb, fetuses can detect sounds as

early as 16 weeks. Furthermore, babies are listening during all their waking hours – and we

continue to learn new words this way all of our lives. By the time we reach adulthood, most

of us will recognize and understand close to 50,000 words. (Stahl, 1999; Tompkins, 2005)

Children who are completely deaf do not get exposed to a listening vocabulary. Instead, if

they have signing models at home or school, they will be exposed to a “visual” listening

vocabulary. The amount of words modeled is much less than a hearing child’s incidental

listening vocabulary.

Speaking Vocabulary:

The words we use when we speak. Our speaking vocabulary is relatively limited: Most

adults use a mere 5,000 to 10,000 words for all their conversations and instructions.

This number is much less than our listening vocabulary most likely due to ease of use.

Reading Vocabulary:

The words we understand when we read text. We can read and understand many words that

we do not use in our speaking vocabulary.

This is the 2nd largest vocabulary IF you are a reader. If you are not a reader, you can not

“grow” your vocabulary.

Writing Vocabulary:

The words we can retrieve when we write to express ourselves. We generally find it easier to

explain ourselves orally, using facial expression and intonation to help get our ideas across,

then to find just the right words to communicate the same ideas in writing. Our writing

vocabulary is strongly influenced by the words we can spell.

Think about it:

When reading, a child with hearing will say all the phonemes related to a word to sound it out.

They will then guess a word they know. This is dependent upon their lexicon (mental

Answer 2

Answer:

Vocabulary refers to the words we must understand to communicate effectively. Educators often consider four types of vocabulary: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Listening vocabulary refers to the words we need to know to understand what we hear. Speaking vocabulary consists of the words we use when we speak. Reading vocabulary refers to the words we need to know to understand what we read. Writing vocabulary consists of the words we use in writing.

Vocabulary plays a fundamental role in the reading process, and contributes greatly to a reader's comprehension. A reader cannot understand a text without knowing what most of the words mean. Students learn the meanings of most words indirectly, through everyday experiences with oral and written language. Other words are learned through carefully designed instruction. type of vocabulary has a different purpose and fortunately the growth in one type of vocabulary supports the growth in another type. Vocabulary is the all the language and words either used or understood by a person or group of people. An example of vocabulary is all the words that a toddler understands. An example of vocabulary is the language used by doctors.
