Call for Submissions:

We call for submissions for a Frontiers Research Topic “Fuzzy Lexical
Representations in the Nonnative Mental Lexicon”.
Behavioral and neurolinguistic evidence supports the notion of fuzzy lexical
representations in L2 lexical processing and learning. A fuzzy lexical
representation is characterized by a large degree of uncertainty and ambiguity
and has less distinct, vague boundaries that differentiate it from the
neighboring representations. The fuzziness of lexical representations can
manifest itself at the level of phonological or orthographic encoding, at the
level of word meaning, or as loose, fuzzy form-meaning associations.

We invite contributions reporting behavioral and neurolinguistic studies that
explore different aspects of fuzzy lexical representations, as they are
engaged in lexical processing and vocabulary learning. With this Frontiers
topic, we are hoping to gain a better understanding of when and under what
circumstances fuzzy L2 lexical representations emerge, which forces constrain
the efficient encoding of L2 lexical representations and contribute to their
fuzziness, how they function in L2 processing, and how fuzziness decreases for
more familiar L2 words.

The abstract submission deadline is November 30, 2020. Please submit your
abstract directly through the Topic website above.

Manuscripts for this open-access article collection can be submitted via both
Frontiers in Communication and Frontiers in Psychology.
