It is important to make a distinction between vocabulary and lexis.
Vocabulary is traditionally understood as a stock of individual words with fixed meanings.
Lexis includes not only the single words but also the word combinations that we store in our mental lexicons.
Readers need to know at least 90% of the words in a text to achieve comprehension so it is essential that language learning and teaching consider that learners must understand from their linguistic experience and employing strategies to make sense of the passage accordingly to the purpose of reading or listening.

These little picture symbols are meant to convey an idea, a feeling, or an object—and they seem to work. For the first time ever, the Oxford Dictionaries’ Word of the Year for 2015 was not a word, but an emoji.
