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.
