"The more words I have, the more precisely I can express the exact meanings I want to"

"Lexis is a powerful carrier of meaning. Beginners often manage to communicate in English by using the accumulative effect of individual words. A student who says 'Yesterday. Go disco. And friends. Dancing' will amost certainly get much of his message over despite completely avoiding grammar; meaning is conveyed by lexis alone."

"There are not always direct translations; perhaps a complex cultural idea is being conveyed that four or five words cannot really explain"
