ice, ground, bridge, house, shop, room, coal, iron, lead, cloth,
hat, shirt, shoe, care, evil, hope, life, need; the verbs are: bake,
burn, buy, drive, hear, keep, learn, make, meet, rise, see, send,
shoot and many more; the adjectives are: broad, dead, deaf, deep.
Many adverbs and pronouns also belong to this layer.
Together with the words of the common Indo-European
stock these Common Germanic words form the bulk of the most
frequent elements used in any style of speech. They constitute no
less then 80% of the 500 most frequent words listed by Thorndike
and Lorge (E. L. Thorndike and I. Lorge “The Teacher’s Word-
book of 30, 000 Words”)
Words belonging to the subsets of the native word-stock are
for the most part characterized by a wide range of lexical and
grammatical valency, high frequency value and a developed
polysemy; they are often monosyllabic, show great word-building
power and enter a number of set expressions.
For example, watch<OE wǽccan is one of the 500 most
frequent English words. It may be used as a verb in more than ten
different sentence patterns, with or without object or adverbial
modifiers and combined with different classes of words. Its
valency is thus of highest. Examples are as follows: Are you
going to play or only watch (the others play)? He was watching
the crowd go by. Watch me carefully. He was watching for the
man lo leave the house. The man is being watched by the police.
The noun watch may mean “the act of watching”, “the
guard”(on ships), “a period of duty for part of the ship’s crew”,
“the team on duty”, “a period of wakefulness”, “close
observation”, “a time piece”, etc.
Watch is the centre of a numerous word-family: watch-dog,
watcher, watchful, watchfulness, watch-out, watchword, etc.
some of the set expressions containing this root are to be on the
watch, to watch one’s step, to keep watch, watchful as a hawk.
There is also a proverb The watched pot never boils, used when
people show impatience or are unduly worrying. In Modern
English only 30% of native words are used. But they are more
important to build speech.
