International scholars and researchers present cutting edge contributions on the significance of vocabulary in current thinking on first and second language acquisition in the school and at home. By pursuing common themes across first and second language and bilingual contexts, the editors offer a collection that tackles the most important issues.
Vocabulary richness, including lexical diversity and use of rare
words, has an important role in assessing proficiency, diagnosing
progress and testing theory in the study of language development.
This book first reviews different methods for quantifying how
vocabulary is deployed in spontaneous speech and writing, and then
introduces an alternative approach which can assess overall lexical
diversity, measure morphology development and compare the
development of different word classes. The new approach is
illustrated by its application to first and second language
learners.
