It was not long that Malcolm realized the dictionary was like an encyclopedia; to this day he remembers what an aardvark is. Malcolm eventually copies the entire dictionary. This increased his vocabulary and improved his reading skills. Malcolm spent so much time reading that months would pass by without him ever thinking about being in prison. “In fact, up to then, I never had been so truly free in my life”.
I get angry. I make mistakes. I love. I admire. I adore.
Intelligent people use vocabulary that represents what is in their mind and physically connects our hearts to their message. Martin Luther King Jr the president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference was arrested Friday April 12, 1963 for demonstrating in Birmingham, Alabama. Where he commenced to write a letter called Letter From Birmingham Jail, to a white clergymen, who wrote about the King’s arrest saying it was “unwise and untimely.” Which lead to John F. Kennedy’s first time publicly speaking upon civil rights to the country. We, being human, utilize words to impact or even rouse change in individual-lives.
Elizabeth Bernstein’s “Big Words are Fading, But Many People Still love Them” uses intentional diction and syntax to emphasize Bernstein’s bias. More specifically, colloquial diction, negative connotations, and various syntactic structures aid the author in achieving her purpose. Bernstein effectively conveys her meaning through the use of varied diction. Her ultimate bias is technology’s hinderance on people’s everyday vocabulary, and her love for big words suggests disapproval in their gradual disappearance.

He thought that the best thing he could do to improve his comprehension would be to study and learn words from a dictionary. He spent two days reading a dictionary and became overwhelmed by all of the words that he did not know even existed. He began copying all of the words onto his tablets, one page every day, and he would read them aloud to himself. Eventually, he was able to remember almost all of the words he had studied. Ever since his “word-base broadened,” he was able to pick up a book and understand what he was reading (3).
The extensive number of words in the English language makes it nearly impossible for any one person to learn them all. The average person says anywhere from 13,000 to 20,000 words per day. But do we truly understand all of these words to their full meaning? The answer is most likely not. Take the word society, for example.
The absence of words in his vocabulary struck him as his biggest setback and this led him to the conclusion that “the best thing I could do was get hold of a dictionary – to study, to learn some words.” Through the Norfolk Prison school Malcolm acquired a dictionary, along with some tablets and pencils. This started his personal quest to improve his penmanship and study words to gain literacy. He began by copying the first page of the dictionary word by word. He then read the words he had written in his own handwriting out loud over, and over.
In addition, he was jealous of Bimbi, who always over controlled the conversations. Therefore, Malcolm X put all of his effort into learning new words and their meaning in each section of the dictionary. By writing down the words on the tablet and read them back to himself after days, his vocabulary was broadened. As a result, he could read, understand what a book said, write his own words, and have interested in reading.
In the word search puzzle, priming words are embedded in a matrix of letters (Bargh et al. 2001). The words in the word search puzzle are split into two categories, filial piety related words and neutral words. To make sure that the filial piety words are accessible in participant’s knowledge, a pretest of a free association word task should be done two weeks before the start of the study. The free association word task is done to decide on what filial piety related words should be used. Participants should be asked to write down a list of words related to filial piety.
Her love for the English language began when Hoffman received a diary from her Canadian friend, Penny. She knew that she would have to learn the language that surrounded her in order to feel like she belonged. She decided that she wanted to write in her diary in English so that she could improve. She started to evolve by saying, “Every day I learn new words, new expressions. I pick them up from school exercises, from conversations, and from books” (106).
In chapter 1, the main concept of text summarization and word sense disambiguation is introduced. Before starting Text summarization, first we, need to know that what a summary is. A summary can be defined as a non redundant text which gives important information of the original text, and is extracted from one or more sentences. We can say text summarization is the unique way, where a computer summarizes a text. A text is entered into the computer and a summarized text is returned as an output, which is a non redundant form of the original text.
