Toward a Lexical Processing Model for the Study of Second Language Vocabulary Acquisition. Evidence from ESL Reading.
de Bot, Kees; Paribakht, T-Sima; Wesche, Marjorie Bingham
Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v19 n3 p309-29 Sep 1997
Explores the relevance of a model for second language (L2) lexical organization and processing, with particular attention to its mental lexicon components, i.e., concepts, lemmas, and lexemes; and organization. Argues that the process of inferring the features of unknown words in a reading passage can be described in terms of lemma construction, as defined in the model. (40 references) (Author/CK)
