Vocabulary is essential for communicating anything and informing others. Vocabulary are the words we use to make sentences; these are our thoughts. “We think in words. The more words you know, the more thoughts you can have." Our vocabularies are made up of so many words, so many thoughts we can have. These vocabularies, our words, can be very useful for expressing ideas, raising questions and describing objects or events. Our vocabularies contain words such as: nouns and verbs that say exactly what a person thinks or what they want others to understand; what, why and how, so that we can expand our understanding of something that someone else likes; colored to describe things that others can understand better. Knowledge is communicated by speaking, writing or watching. When talking to someone, we use the vocabulary of the language we speak. Language is a barrier throughout the world. This barrier prevents people from understand other people due to language difference, so knowledge is lost or not communicated due to the Internet. But not so long ago, distance hindered the spread of knowledge precisely because it was not possible to talk over large distances, such as the. ocean. When writing to someone the distance is not a problem, but the language still causes a problem. Mail can reach the most remote corners of the Earth. So the spread of knowledge on paper is not hindered by distance. But we write in our own languages and these are not understood throughout the world. So, once again there is a loss of knowledge for those who cannot understand a certain language. Both of these ways of communicating... middle of paper... an opinion on the topic. Can vocabulary communicate more than knowledge? Yes, in many ways it can. Vocabulary can communicate knowledge, but it also reveals feelings, emotions and reasons.
