Why analyse vocabulary?
Vocabulary forms the core building blocks of language.
A rich vocabulary makes the four core skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing easier and without it, learners can’t understand language, express themselves or be understood.
In the words of renowned British linguist, David Wilkins; “…while without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed”
