 Vocabulary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean Aitchison gives the capacity of the vocabulary of college graduates with Bachelor of Education degrees as a "guestimate" of at least 50,000, where a word is defined as a lexeme or dictionary entry, i.e.
Increasing the size of one's vocabulary, also called vocabulary building, is generally considered to be an important part of both learning a language and improving one's skills in a language in which one is already proficient.
The richness of a person's vocabulary is popularly thought to be a reflection of intelligence or level of education.

Similarly, if computers are being used to facilitate reading and vocabulary acquisition, scaffolding might be provided by having the computer software rather than the student determine which word meanings are defined on screen.
In vocabulary development, for example, strategies represent procedures to facilitate (a) word learning at a desired level of understanding, and (b) independence in the implementation of word learning strategies.
Although there is research support for each of the vocabulary intervention techniques we discuss, the framework we propose to comprehensively address the vocabulary delays of diverse learners is based more on a logical analysis of the problem than clear and warranted research evidence.

 RDF Vocabulary Description Language 1.0: RDF Schema
RDF's vocabulary description language, RDF Schema, is a semantic extension (as defined in [RDF-SEMANTICS]) of RDF.

 Controlled Vocabulary: your site for information on Keyword, Hierarchical Classification, Thesauri, Taxonomy and ...
The biggest advantage to controlled vocabulary is that once you do find the correct term, most of the information you need is grouped together in one place, saving you the time of having to search under all of the other synonyms for that term.
While stop words may provide some useful content in Natural Language Processing; most keyword based approaches do not use grammars to parse user input, so this content is not used effectively.
Since we have many different ways of describing concepts, drawing all of these terms together under a single word or phrase in a database makes searching the database more efficient as it eliminates guess work.
