The Measurement Of Vocabulary Of High School Students : A Study Of The Reliability Of Existing Tests, George Wendell Kellogg

Master's Theses

In view of the number of vocabulary tests that have been made in recent years and the resulting widespread use of estimates based on them, the question of whether or not a reliable absolute estimate of a person ' s vocabulary can be made from existing tests is of paramount importance . Before attacking the problem, it was necessary to define "an individual's vocabulary." It was decided that in this study vocabulary would mean not merely the number of words a person could use, but the total number of words the meanings of which he could recognize. A "reliable estimate" …

Ambrose Bierce, Walter Richardson Hudgins Apr 1939

Ambrose Bierce, Walter Richardson Hudgins

Master's Theses

While Bierce is not a great writer, when compared with the really great, he has a peculiar fascination for a select group of readers. And his fame will live more by change than by any general public acclaim. Like many others, I first became acquainted with him purely by accident. Since then I have come to know him better through desire.

Of the scores of people I have asked to give their reaction to Bierce, scacely more than a half dozen professed any knowledge that such a person ever existed. This much I noticed: All of the people who knew …
