Abstract:

Research into lexical issues has been one of the most rapidly growing areas of
second language acquisition studies in recent years, and understandably so:
the importance of vocabulary can hardly be denied. Words are the key to every
instance of communication, both spoken and written. This volume concentrates
on vocabulary in written language, mostly in academic settings. The writers of
the chapters come from different countries and universities, and, naturally,
represent their own academic backgrounds, though they all share a common
interest in investigating the characteristics of L2 lexis as it manifests
itself in the written production of students at various stages of their
language learning careers. The target language (L2) in the studies reported in
the volume is English, except in one study on the lexical competence of
multilingual learners of French. The subjects’ native languages include Czech,
Danish, Finnish, Hungarian, and Swedish, thus representing several different
language families. Each chapter constitutes an independent unit, but together
the studies reported in them give the reader a varied and extensive picture of
lexical issues in L2 writing. The authors approach their topics from different
perspectives and use diverse research methods, adding to the multifaceted
nature of the volume. The book will be of interest to researchers, educators
and students of second language acquisition and applied linguistics.
