	ED250696 1984-00-00 Vocabulary. ERIC Digest. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		DEFINITION OF The vocabulary, or lexicon, of language encompasses the stock of words of that language which is at the disposal of a speaker or writer.
		Vocabulary development is, of course, a lifetime undertaking in which schools play a critical role in enriching and extending the young child's basic lexical repertoire, particularly through the medium of written language.
		For this reason, vocabulary instruction properly belongs in all subjects of the curriculum in which students meet both new ideas and the words by which they are represented in the language.

		Indicates that the instrument is subject to being redeemed at the demand of the issuer (children identify the parameters of the callable status).
		Marginable may be defined by the issuer, the market, or the broker involved (the context defines its use and is specified in "agentType").
		Defines the parameters of when an instrument matures and is no longer negotiable or functional.

	Vocabulary as a central concept in Information Science
		Vocabulary can be defined as the range (or repertoire) of values in any field of bibliographic description and, in a more extended sense, the range of types in a set at any level (word, field, collection, and library).
		We have spoken of multiple vocabularies as if each were straightforward and homogeneous, but any vocabulary is likely to be internally inconsistent, whether through the variation in an individual's usage or because a multiplicity of actors is involved, each with his or her personal usage (synchronous variation).
		Vocabulary is also important because it is central to issues of identity, which, in turn, are central to society.

	Requirements-based Vocabulary
		Define a vocabulary for an object (or for a set of objects).
		Once a user-defined vocabulary exists for a class, it is very easy to use it in any Object COBOL classes or procedural COBOL programs.
		Use the vocabulary defined for the object in place of an INVOKE verb and method name when you want to send the object a message.

	Compositional Semantic Primitives
		The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, however, uses a 2000-word defining vocabulary to define all the remaining 54,000 words in the dictionary (without relying on idioms or circular definitions).
		But the defining vocabulary is not as small as possible: many of the words (such as "mother," "daughter," "sister") can be defined using other words ("female," "parent", etc.) from the defining vocabulary.
		Ogden's 850-word Basic English vocabulary can be used to define a broader range of words, but it does so by being non-compositional: it uses idioms (such as "put up with" meaning "tolerate") and words with multiple meanings that depend on context.

	categorization: Readware Inc.
		Defining vocabulary, setting up standards of taxonomy and defining the items belonging within a given category can be a daunting task.
		The tools and expertise needed to define classification criteria and document to document and document to query relations are also often difficult to manage, narrowly confined and too strictly applied.
		System users are able to define measures according to one or more exposed input options and parameters using their choice of vocabulary.

		One of the most difficult challenges faced by the editors of this dictionary was to keep both the number of vocabulary entries and the defining vocabulary within manageable limits.
		If the number of entries is controlled but the defining vocabulary is not, the definitions may contain numerous words that are not entered in the dictionary itself or in a readily available, standard, general dictionary of English.
		Second, the defining vocabulary was controlled by a rigorous cross-reference process which ensured that every word used in a definition was entered in this book or in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.

	One Stop English \| Vocabulary
		There is a lot written on the benefits of teaching core vocabulary, particularly as it may lay the foundations for consequential ‘grammaring’ that takes place.
		I have a strong feeling that many of these words are not part of the core 2000 words and will therefore not be used on a regular basis in the ‘real world’ unless they are recycled, in which case ss might at least retain them during their course!.
		But there are some discrepancies which suggest that the defining vocabulary is not exactly the same as the top 2500 words.

		Vocabulary development begins when a parent responds to the sounds a baby makes.
		A child responds immediately to the environment around him/her, and the parent responses contribute to the development of a child’s listening vocabulary.
		So it is very natural that parents are their child’s first vocabulary teacher.

	Gilo - Notes on the Gilo Vocabulary
		The construction of a new logical vocabulary would be impossible without first deciding what meanings it was necessary to express and what associated words stem from those meanings.
		Given the tens of thousands of regularly used words (including the variations of tense etc) and the hundreds of thousands of lesser used words (including specific animal, plant and technical terms), the difficulty is in knowing even where to begin.
		Without classification and the sensible ordering of words of similar meanings or those derived from the same roots, then, no matter how much better the grammar is, the new language itself is going to be little better than any natural language with all of its inconsistencies and difficulties for the learner.

	Green Chameleon » Defining “Taxonomy”
		Yesterday I made the claim that a taxonomy cannot be defined by its shape, which is mostly how it does get defined eg “A taxonomy is a hierarchical arrangement of terms blah blah blah...”.
		I argued that taxonomies should be defined more by their purpose and use, less by the structural form they happen to take (which can vary according to circumstance).
		That is, they provide a fixed vocabulary to describe their knowledge and information assets, and this vocabulary needs to be meaningful and transparent to ordinary users.

	Garett Dworman/Projects – Vocabulary Translation System
		The design process began with an extended series of interviews with the inventor of the DRN technology because there was little or no clear documentation of the DRN architecture, nothing on the translation problem, nor anything discussing how a translation module would interact with the rest of the DRN and users.
		Translation, therefore, is the application of linguistic rules to convert a UQL statement in the source vocabulary and ontology domain into an equivalent UQL statement in the target vocabulary and ontology domain.
		Linguistic rules are divided into three types: Structure rules defining vocabulary elements and their data; Formatting rules using regular expressions defining elements’ data; and Semantic rules defining possibly complex ontological relationships between vocabulary elements.

	IATEFL POLAND COMPUTER SIG JOURNAL - Software Reviews
		MED is said to be directed for advanced learners, but when looking at the defining vocabulary it seems that intermediate and upper-intermediate students could profitably use the tool as well.
		In comparison to MED, CLD claims to be directed to intermediate learners of English, and probably due to this assumption the interface of the program is much simpler, there are just a few icons and no drop-down menus, most probably not to overwhelm the user with a multitude of instructions in the target language.
		One thing missing in the entries of MED is the lack of related words option, which would enable the user to research the dictionary contents for words of similar meaning or relating to the same language area.

	Analysis of dictionary definitions
		Method one is based on co-occurrence analysis of the control vocabulary usage in the definitions and examples.
		Method two is based on bootstrapping a lexicon from a handcrafted lexicon for a subset of the controlled vocabulary.

		All definitions in the dictionary are supposed to ground out eventually to the defining vocabulary.
		The LDOCE defining vocabulary, a horizontal slice of the WordNet hierarchy, the Roget headwords: each of these could be used as a list of general concepts, or as inspiration for an original list.
		None of these sources is perfect: LDOCE is not semantically motivated and is apparently not without circular references; WordNet has much less coverage than the others, especially among the non-nouns; Roget is also somewhat arbitrary, and obviously influenced by his culture.
