 Call for Book Chapters

Contributions are invited for an edited manuscript 

Words: Description, Acquisition, and Pedagogy

to be published by Cambridge Scholars Press

Vocabulary, or the lexicon, is a strong predictor of academic success and
language proficiency. Therefore, it is important for researchers and
practitioners to better understand how vocabulary is acquired, represented in
the mind, as well as learned in monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual
environments. The manuscript will bring together recent research on the topic;
the lexicon will be considered from multiple perspectives by theorizing the
description of lexicon, lexical acquisition, and pedagogy.

The manuscript will cover the following main areas:

- Mental lexicon
- Theoretical linguistics and its implications for developing lexical
competence
- Lexical knowledge assessment and acquisition in L1 and L2
- Instructional practices to develop lexical competence in L1 and L2
