Active Vocabulary

Famous quotes containing the words active and/or vocabulary:

“Why indeed must “God” be a noun? Why not a verb—the most active and dynamic of all.”
—Mary Daly (b. 1928)

“A new talker will often call her caregiver “mommy,” which makes parents worry that the child is confused about who is who. She isn’t. This is a case of limited vocabulary rather than mixed-up identities. When a child has only one word for the female person who takes care of her, calling both of them “mommy” is understandable.”
—Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
