Vocabulary Tier
Words have different levels or tiers. As English speakers, you should know what vocabulary tier to use when communicating with other people (whether it’s written or oral). You should always match the words that you use to the level of the person you’re talking to. The communication will be better when you use vocabulary tiers. Here’s an example:
Word: BEAUTIFUL (adj. physically attractive)
TIER 1: Consists of the most basic words.
appealing
cute
nice
pretty
lovely
TIER 2: Consists of words that occur often in mature language situations such as adult conversations and literature.
alluring
angelic
bewitching
charming
dazzling
enticing
exquisite
gorgeous
stunning
ravishing
TIER 3: Consists of words that are not frequently used except in specific content areas or domains
beauteous
pulchritudinous
