vocabulary
An author’s diction is strictly his choice and use of words, with no special reference to thought; expression regards the words simply as the vehicle of the thought. Phrase and phraseology apply to words or combinations of words which are somewhat technical; as, in legal phraseology; in military phrase. Diction is general; wording is limited; we speak of the diction of an author or of a work, the wording of a proposition, of a resolution, etc. Verbiage never bears this sense (see CIRCUMLOCUTION.) The language of a writer or speaker may be the national speech he employs; as, the English or French language; or the word may denote his use of that language; as, the author’s language is well (or ill) chosen. Style includes diction, expression, rhetorical figures such as metaphor and simile, the effect of an author’s prevailing tone of thought, of his personal traits — in short, all that makes up the clothing of thought in words; thus, we speak of a figurative style, a frigid or an argumentative style, etc., or of the style of Macaulay, Prescott, or others. An author’s vocabulary is the range of words which he brings into his use. Compare LANGUAGE.

Hugo Ferreira:
Touring can be brutal. I think Ozzy should consider himself lucky to have the word ‘ retire ’ in his vocabulary. Most musicians don’t have that luxury because either they stop making enough money or they suffer years of abuse on their body.

John Schnatter:
The agency was promoting that vocabulary … They pushed me. And it upset me, it’s caused a lot of grief for my community, for my university.

Leonard Mlodinow:
Nothing projects intelligence quite like confidence. When you believe in yourself, it shows, and research shows that believing in yourself improves your performance on cognitive tasks. Self-doubt, on the other hand, impairs your performance. What’s worse is that other people pick up on this doubt, which makes you appear less intelligent to them. If you want people to believe in you, you have to believe in yourself. If you’re really smart, you should n’t have to use big words to broadcast it. True intelligence speaks for itself, so you don’t have to show off your impressive vocabulary. In addition, you always run the chance of being wrong. Using a big word incorrectly makes you look, well, not so smart. So, if you want to appear more intelligent, stop studying the dictionary and just focus on communicating effectively. Related : 8 Great Tricks for Reading People’s Body Language Communication expert Leonard Mlodinow makes the case that even if two people say exactly the same thing, the one who says it most expressively will be perceived as being smarter. If two speakers utter exactly the same words, but one speaks a little faster and louder and with fewer pauses and greater variation in volume, that speaker will be judged to be more energetic, knowledgeable, and intelligent.

Anatol Stefanowitsch:
I can’t think of anything, at least since the Second World War, that would have changed the vocabulary as drastically, and at the same time as quickly, as the corona pandemic, i can think of many other examples of a huge cultural shift that changed the German vocabulary. But they didn’t happen within a few months.

How to use «Vocabulary» in context?
When we start learning a new language, one of the first things we need to do is build up our vocabulary. Vocabulary can be broken down into two categories: general vocabulary and specific vocabulary. General vocabulary is the broader term that includes words that can be used in any situation. Specifically, this term includes words like «boy,» «apple,» and «cat.» Specific vocabulary, on the other hand, is a smaller category that includes words that are specifically used in the language you’re learning. For example, in Spanish, words like «presidente,» «mesa,» and » camello » are all specific vocabulary terms.
