They concern the common things of life, and are the stock in trade of all who【C4】______the language. Such words may be called "popular" , since they belong to the people at large and are not the exclusive possession of a limited class.
On the other hand, our language comprises a multitude of words which are comparatively【C5】______used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little【C6】______to use them at home or in the market place. Our first acquaintance with them comes not from our mother’s【C7】______or from the talk of our school mates, 【C8】______from books that we read, lectures that we attend, or the more formal conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular【C9】______in style appropriately elevated above the habitual extent of everyday life. Such words are called "learned", and the【C10】______between them and the "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process. [br] 【C2】
