Definition of Vocabulary
Several
scholars have given their opinions about what vocabulary is. They are as
follows:
According
to Penny, Ur in Jawariah, (2005:11), vocabulary can be defined roughly as the
word we teach in foreign language.
However, a new time of vocabulary may be more than a single word. Hornby
in Erniwati, (2003:17)
asserts that vocabularies are: 1) all the words that a person knows or uses; 2)
all the words in a particularly language; 3) the words that people use when
they are talking; 4) a list of words their meanings, especially in a book for
learning a foreign language.
In
addition Carter in Muhbubah, (2005:10) point out that vocabulary is the concept
and function word of language which are so thoroughly that become a part of
child’s understanding speaking, reading and writing. Vocabulary is the word
having meaning when heard and seen even
though it is not proceed by individual to communicate with other sometimes all
the words recognize and understood by a particular person, although not
necessary used by him.
Similar
to the previous definition, Webster in Basri, (2007:88) stated that vocabulary
are: 1) a list of words and sometimes phrase, it is usually arranged in
alphabetical order and defined in a dictionary, glossary, lexicon; 2) all the
words of language; 3) all the words used
by a particular person, class, profession etc.
