How large was Shakespeare vocabulary?

It's estimated that Shakespeare used over thirty thousand words, many more than most people. The King James Bible uses a vocabulary of about eight thousand words.


Did Shakespeare help translate the King James bible?

Probably not. It has been said that Shakespeare worked his name into the King James Version of the bible. At the time Psalm 46 was translated, Shakespeare was 46 years old. The forty-sixth word in the King James Version of Psalm 46 is "shake," while the word that is forty-sixth from the end is "spear." While this seems like too many appearances of 46 to be coincidential, it may very well be. At least three translations prior to the KJV use the words "shake" and "spear." The placement of the words, however, varies. It may be that someone translating the KJV doctored the translation to put each half of Shakespeare's name forty-six words from each end of the psalm, but the words themselves were probably not selected for that reason. It is noteworthy that the New King James retains the same phenomenon.


Where is the word Shakespeare located in the Bible?

Okay go get your Bible if you have one around. Go to Psalm chapter 46. From the beginning count 46 words. You'll see "shake". Then count 46 words back from the end of the chapter. You'll see "spear". Some people say Shakespeare helped in writing this chapter in the King James version. I'm not saying it's what I believe I'm just throwing it out there. Hope this helps =D.


How many words did the average vocabulary have in Shakespeare time?

Various sources suggest that the average person has a vocabulary of about 4000 words, whereas Shakespeare used between 17000 and 29000 different words in his works (it depends on what you consider to be different words). Any way you cut it, Shakespeare uses a lot more words than people now know or his audience then had heard of.
