By the phrase “One word substitution” we mean the words that replace group of words or a full

sentence effectively without creating any kind of ambiguity in the meaning of the sentences. Like the
word “Autobiography” can be used in place of the sentence “The life story of a man written by himself”.
It is very important to write precisely and speak in a single word. Generally, we speak or write in a
garrulous way. But, it is seen that precise words are always understood easily by all. At times we become
verbose which is not required and we are required to talk or speak precisely. This not only makes the
language easily comprehendible but also makes it beautiful. The other way, we can say that these words
are used to bring an effect of compression in any kind of writing, for example in business communication
there are instances when we have to write a lot with in limitation of time and space, there these kind of
words can prove quite handy. In English language there are a lots of single words for a group of words
that can be used effectively to make the writing to the point that too without losing the meaning of the
context.
