It is a branching process rather than a linear one (words are learnt in association with others)
It is an intensely personal process (associations depend on our past and present experience)
It is a social process, not a solitary one (we expand our understanding of meaning by interchanging and sharing with others)
It is not simply an intellectual process, but an experiential ‘hands-on’ process, too (language is not an object - it has to be incorporated within the learner)
