[Toukichi]

Theo Viện nghiên cứu ngôn ngữ Washington, để giao tiếp được chỉ cần học thuộc 800 từ thông dụng nhất. Với vốn từ này, bạn có thể viết được bài đăng trên tờ New York Times, Le Monde.
A.J.Hoge: "Chúng ta không cần phải có vốn từ vựng nhiều, vì khi chúng ta thiếu từ vựng để diễn đạt ý muốn nói, chúng ta có thể dùng cách giải thích bằng các từ vựng mà chúng ta có sẵn trong đầu rồi."

Vấn đề là các từ vựng sẵn có trong đầu là gì ? Dựa trên hàng tỷ từ dùng được ghi nhận trong "Tài liệu lưu trữ", từ điển Oxford đã đưa ra những từ được dùng phổ biến nhất trong văn viết trên toàn cầu.
