Answer the following questions.The basic word stock has five obvious characteristics. Why should we say that "all national character" is the most important of all features among the five?
NOT ALL THE WORDS OF THE BASIC WORD STOCK HAVE THE FIVE CHARACTERISTICS. TAKE PRONOUNS AND NUMERALS FOR EXAMPLE, THEY ENJOY NATIONWIDE USE AND STABILITY, BUT ARE SEMANTICALLY MONOSEMOUS AND HAVE LIMITED PRODUCTIVITY AND COLLOCABILITY. THEREFORE. "ALL NATIONAL CHARACTER" IS THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL FEATURES THAT MAY DIFFERENTIATE WORDS OF COMMON USE FROM ALL OTHERS.
