When I try to understand a particular sentence, I have a feeling that my mind is automatically trying to break\u00a0the complex words into simpler sentences\u00a0and then trying to\u00a0process the whole\u00a0meaning. A\u00a0program that can rephrase a sentence to its minimal vocabulary might help me find a way how a\u00a0brain understands language.<\/p>\n

Let’s say I have a sentence – “This is hilarious”,\u00a0the brain made it simpler by rephrasing\u00a0this sentence to “This is very funny”. The next time I want to say\u00a0something is very\u00a0funny I might simply\u00a0use “Hilarious”.<\/p>\n

All we need a very small set of words to express each and every thought in our mind. The Aesop tales contains a vocabulary of around 5000 words only. One of the most famous story books of all time was written with only 5000 words.<\/p>\n

Rudyard Kipling’s “Jungle book” has a total word count of 51,401 out of which there are only 8,533 unique words. The book\u00a0has been taken from here<\/a><\/p>\n

Inference:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The number of words used in Jungle Book and many other\u00a0famous children books had no more than 10,000 unique words. Most of those complex\u00a0words if translated to much lower forms reduces the unique word count\u00a0to even less number even if it increases the total word count of the whole book. Grus\u00a0need not mug up the entire dictionary, he needs to understand how to express thoughts using a minimal set of words.<\/p>\n
