It defines core words as high-frequency, versatile language units that constitute the majority of human communication, essential for expressing varied needs, feelings, and comments across diverse situations. In contrast, it characterizes fringe words as specialized, less frequent, and often noun-based vocabulary unique to specific interests, activities, or individuals. The guide emphasizes that the most effective communication occurs by integrating both core and fringe words. It is designed to assist beginning communicators, speech-language professionals, and educators in understanding how to leverage these vocabulary types to build robust communicative power for those using spoken words, sign language, or picture symbols.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":57,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/general/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/core-words-and-fringe-words-aac-communication-guide/493391/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/core-words-and-fringe-words-aac-communication-guide/493391.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Aditya","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-19","2026-10-01",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What characterizes core words in communication?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Core words are high-frequency, versatile words that make up 70-80% of daily communication.

Core words are the small number of words that make up 70 -80% of what we say. They allow us to express a wide variety of needs, wants and ideas. They include action words, describing words and location words (e.g. , help, go, good, ready and in) .  \nCore words are useful across a broad number of events or activities and are needed throughout your entire life. Using core words allows us to communicate for many different reasons (e.g. , requesting, expressing feelings, sharing likes/dislikes, making comments, directing others, etc.) .  \nCore words provide real communicative power!  \nFringe Words  \nFringe words are not used very often and usually cannot be used in a variety of situations. Fringe words consist primarily of nouns and are specific to a theme, activity, person, or object. All of us use fringe vocabulary, such as the names of family members, friends, pets, favourite things and places. The fringe words that are important to each of us are unique and probably only a few of our fringe words would be used by others.  \nSome frequently used fringe words may be considered core words for specific people. Using highly motivating fringe words is especially important for beginning communicators.  \nCombining Core and Fringe Words  \nThe most powerful communication comes from using core words in combination with a few fringe words.  \nNote: *core vocabulary means the same as ‘core words’","cbCaisGKS8Lv7zaG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisGKS8Lv7zaG","pdf",738204,"English","# Understanding Core and Fringe Vocabulary\n## What are Core Words?\n## What are Fringe Words?\n## Combining Core and Fringe Words","[{\"question\":\"What characterizes core words in communication?\",\"answer\":\"Core words are high-frequency, versatile words that make up 70-80% of daily communication.
