Famous quotes containing the word vocabulary:

    “The vocabulary of pleasure depends on the imagery of pain.”
    —Marina Warner (b. 1946)

    “One forgets words as one forgets names. One’s vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.”
    —Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

    “A new talker will often call her caregiver “mommy,” which makes parents worry that the child is confused about who is who. She isn’t. This is a case of limited vocabulary rather than mixed-up identities. When a child has only one word for the female person who takes care of her, calling both of them “mommy” is understandable.”
    —Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
