Abstract:

This book offers a comprehensive investigation into advanced students’
knowledge of vocabulary in their L1 and L2. As a cross-sectional
study, it examines the quantitative aspects of students’ vocabulary
knowledge through parallel tests of upper secondary level vocabulary,
specialised vocabulary, and advanced vocabulary in both their L1 and
L2. It also, primarily in qualitative terms, investigates students' L1
and L2 knowledge of polysemous words, lexical fields of near synonyms
and false friends. Knowledge of derivative forms, idioms, proverbs,
idiomatically used prepositions and multi-word verbs offer insights
into both the breadth and depth of students’ L1 and L2 vocabulary
knowledge. Finally, it considers the extent to which students’ results
can be attributed to differences between inferencing skills in their
L1 and L2. In each subfield, the pedagogical implications of the
findings are discussed. This book will be of interest to teachers and
researchers focusing on the teaching and learning of vocabulary.
