How to Build Your Vocabulary(and why you need to)

Why It’s Important?

A person’s ability to communicate
with fluency and exactness in all
fields of knowledge increases as
their vocabulary increases. For
example, physicians can
communicate with one another and
understand one another easily
because they have been trained to
understand the meaning of medical
terms that the average person m

The reason you need to build
(i.e., increase) your vocabulary is
because failure to understand the
meaning of a word can seriously
hinder your understanding of printed
or oral communication.

What is Technical Vocabulary?

Technical Vocabulary is the specialized vocabulary of any field which evolves due to the
need for experts in a field to communicate with clarity, precision, relevance and brevity.
Prior to developing your technical vocabulary, to improve your general vocabulary in
English is very essential. The thirst to learn new words, should be a continuous process;
whenever you learn new words, try your best to use them while you communicate so that
the words register in your mind.

A dictionary is an invaluable tool to build your vocabulary. Sometimes you infer
the meaning of a word from the context; but the meaning may not be exact. Only the
dictionary would provide with the exact meaning.Once you have learnt to use the dictionary, you can improve your vocabulary in various
ways. The most important one is word formation. Some of the methods of word
formation are blending, compounding, coinage, borrowing clipping, etc.

Affixes and roots

Adding affixes to existing words (the base or root) to form new words is common in academic English.

Prefixes are added to the front of the base (like

right arrow

dislike), whereas suffixes are added to the end of the base (active

right arrow

activate). Prefixes usually do not change the class of the base word, but suffixes usually do change the class of the word.
