摘要：Vocabulary, which is defined as the entire collection of words a person, a community, or a language has, is also referred to as lexicon. When vocabulary that individuals possess is discussed, the personal dictionaries they have in their minds are referred to. Briefly stated, the term vocabulary is the mental dictionary of the human brain. Mind, which is the mechanism that is responsible for human behavior, enables the complex processes at work in our brain for the language skills of reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills to function in a harmonious manner. Vocabulary is classified into two groups in terms of language skills related to comprehension and production as receptive vocabulary and productive vocabulary. Receptive vocabulary refers to the part of the lexicon used by individuals in the comprehension process as they are engaged in reading and listening while productive vocabulary refers to the part individuals make use of in the production process in speaking and writing activities. This qualitative study which is based on document analysis aims to dwell on the mental dimension of vocabulary and to describe the relationship of the vocabulary to memory within that context.
