In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprise the whole vocabulary.First, there are those words 1_____ which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we 2_____ ,that is to say, from the 3_____ of our own family and from our familiar associates, and 4_____ we should know and use 5_____ we could not read or write.They 6_____ the common things of life, and are the stock in trade of all who 7_____ the language.Such words may be called“popular”, since they belong to the people 8_____ and are not the exclusive 9_____ of a limited class.On the other hand, our language 10_____ a multitude of words which are comparatively 11_____ used in ordinary conversation.Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little 12_____ to use them at home or in the market-place.Our 13_____ acquaintance with them comes not from our mother's 14_____ or from the talk of our school-mates, 15_____ from books that we read, lectures that we 16_____ ,or the more 17_____ conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular 18_____ in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual 19_____ of everyday life.Such words are called“learned”, and the 20_____ between them and the“popular”words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process.
