How Many Words do Native English Speakers Absorb by Age?
The researchers found that native adult speakers of English understand an average of 20,000 to 30,000 vocabulary words, and native speakers learn about one word a day from ages 16 to 50.
- Most adult native test-takers have a vocabulary range of about 20,000-35,000 words
- Average native test-takers of age 8 already know 10,000 words
- Average native test-takers of age 4 already know 5,000 words
- Adult native test-takers learn almost 1 new word a day until middle age
- Vocabulary growth stops at middle age
- (English) 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words; 615,100 definitions
- Foreign test-takers tend to reach over 10,000 words by living abroad
- Foreign test-takers learn 2.5 new words a day while living in an English-speaking country
- In a separate post, though, comes a surprising fact: the reading of fiction specifically is as important as reading generally. People who read "lots" and fiction "lots" outscore those who read "lots" but fiction only "somewhat" or "not much". This is because a wider range of vocabulary is typically used in fiction than in non-fiction writing.
