According to the passage, vocabulary ----.
In 1980, Paul Meara characterized vocabulary as a
‘neglected aspect of language learning’. Researchers in
the 1970s and early 1980s were drawn to syntax and
morphology because of the way error patterns and
developmental sequences of these features might
reveal something about universals in languages and
language acquisition. Just as Meara was commenting
on the state of neglect, an explosion of research on
vocabulary learning was beginning, and the acquisition
of vocabulary has become one of the most active areas
in second language acquisition research. For most
people, the importance of vocabulary seems very clear.
As it has often been remarked, we can communicate by
using words that are not placed in the proper order,
pronounced perfectly, or marked with the proper
grammatical morphemes, but communication often
breaks down if we do not use the correct word. Although
circumlocution and gestures can sometimes
compensate, the importance of vocabulary can hardly
be underestimated.
