The goal of this </sub><sub>study was to compare the amount of vocabulary learned by four- and five-year-old children </sub><sub>who were categorized based on the terms they used. This research is descriptive qualitative </sub><sub>since it looks at linguistic phenomena across a certain time period. According to the findings </sub><sub>of this study, four-year-olds acquire more vocabulary than five-year-olds do. On average, </sub><sub>four- and five-year-olds acquire 100 more words in just eight minutes. Furthermore, the </sub><sub>nouns that they occupied in the first sequence were the most typical words that four- and five- year-old children learned. Verb, adjective, and other words were the last terms they were able </sub><sub>to master.</sub></p><p><sub>Keywords: Psycholinguistics, Vocabulary, Acquisition</sub></p> ER -
