Abstract:

The eleven chapters of Vocabulary in a Second Language are written by
the world's leading researchers in the field of vocabulary studies in

selection, the learning and teaching, or the testing of vocabulary
knowledge in foreign languages. This book is intended as an up-to-date
overview of the important domain of the lexicon for researchers in the
field of second language acquisition, teacher trainers and
professional teachers of second or foreign languages.
