Ideas rather than things - many of them the deverbal and deadjectival nouns word-formation-b2 taught you to build on sight.

Beyond b1-work-office's everyday job vocabulary: the market, the money and the strategy a business itself runs on.

The vocabulary of building and renovating: the site, the materials, the people doing the work.

News, elections and public life - beyond b1-government-administration's offices and paperwork, this is the vocabulary of following and discussing them.

The vocabulary an actual disagreement runs on: a position, a claim, the proof behind it, the proposal that follows and the compromise that ends it - plus the words for the social problems people actually argue about, poverty, inequality, prejudice, unemployment. Exactly where word-order-information-structure-b2 lives: a fronted claim, a postponed new subject, a comma-set-off topic doubled by a resumptive pronoun all decide what a listener hears as new.

The vocabulary of telling the past: events, rulers, wars and legends, and the verbs of remembering and forgetting - exactly the terrain where aorist-imperfect-b2's literary past tenses do their real work, in the register of a story rather than a report.

The vocabulary of research and statistics - a study, its hypothesis, its sample, its results - carried by exactly the numerals numeral-declension-b2 teaches: два научника, три хипотезе, пет резултата, the count-form/invariant split running through almost every example below.

The vocabulary of a contract read closely: clauses and provisions, courts and verdicts, the difference between lawful and unlawful - exactly the terrain where advanced-clause-syntax-b2's чији, prepositional relatives and formal concessive connectors do their real work.

The vocabulary of a formal letter, application or complaint: requests, notices, signatures and deadlines, plus the adjectives and verbs that separate an official register from a casual one - exactly where register-style-b2 draws the line between Ви and ти.

The vocabulary of a gallery visit and an art review: paintings, exhibitions, critics and style, plus the verbs that make and judge a work - exactly the nouns that keep showing up on both sides of adjective-definiteness-b2's own line between нов and нови.
