Word Formation in English

What is a word?

It has been estimated that average speakers of a language know from 45,000 to 60,000 words. This means that we as speakers must have stored these words somewhere in our heads, our so-called mental lexicon. But what exactly is it that we have stored? What do we mean when we speak of ‘words’? In non-technical every-day talk, we speak about ‘words’ without ever thinking that this could be a problematic notion. In this section we will see that, perhaps contra our first intuitive feeling, the ‘word’ as a linguistic unit deserves some attention, because it is not as straightforward as one might expect.

If you had to define what a word is, you might first think of the word as a unit in the writing system, the so-called orthographic word. You could say, for example, that a word is an uninterrupted string of letters which is preceded by a blank space and followed either by a blank space or a punctuation mark. At first sight, this looks like a good definition that can be easily applied. So now, you can download this e-book, it gives you all things you need

Speed Up Vocabulary Student Book


Providing a rich resource of audio-visual material and activities, Speed Up Vocabulary is a student – centered practice book for beginners. It is suitable for use in the classroom or for home study.

Many linguists consider vocabulary development to be more important than learning grammar, asserting that lexical items carry more meaning than grammatical structures and that one can survive in the target language community with a dictionary but not with a grammar book. They view comprehension as directly dependent on the ability to recognize the meaning of key words in a sentence. Therefore vocabulary development, especially for beginning level students with limited grammar knowledge, plays a crucial role in language acquisition. 

Key words in each unit are coloured for better recognition and represented with a picture. Every key word is contextualized in two sentences describing the pictures. In these sentences, the students are also introduced to the verbs, adjectives and adverbs that can be used in the same context with the key words. Both the sentences and words in isolation are recorded on tape so that the students will be exposed to a maximum amount of input for greater comprehension.
