Current Perspectives in Spanish Lexical Development

The study of the acquisition of a second language has focused on every possible area of the linguistic system. However, the lexicon has received proportionally less attention, partly due to its vastness and complexity. This volume addresses the many emerging issues concerning Spanish vocabulary learning by including a diverse range of studies on the lexicon in L1 and its impact over L2 lexicon, factors and measurements for Spanish L2 lexicon acquisition, and the teaching of Spanish vocabulary.
