“Vocabulary 

(from the Latin for "name," also called wordstock, lexicon, and lexis) refers

to all the words in a language that are understood by a particular person or group of
people. There are two main types of vocabulary: active and passive. An active vocabulary
consists of the words we understand and use in everyday speaking and writing. Passive
vocabulary is made up of words that we may recognize but don't generally use in the
course of normal communication.” (Richard, 2019)
“Vocabulary is an important aspect in a language. To master a language, a learner should
master the vocabulary of the language. In other words, the learner cannot use a language
without having knowledge about vocabulary of that language.” (Pribilova, 2006)
“Vocabulary is knowledge of words and words meaning in both oral and print language
and in productive and receptive forms which is used in listening, speaking, reading and
writing.” (Lehr, 2004)
