No matter the theoretical perspective, the lexicon is a key component of language. In spite of this importance, it has not always been focus of mainstream second language acquisition research.

In this chapter, we expand the conceptual framework of research on second language attrition by invoking an expansive notion of the lexi con, which, in addition to vocabulary, contains items below the word level (i.e., affixes) and above the word level (i.e., phrasal structure stored in long-term memory). Although most syntactic structures are gene...
/"-._ ip NP I kN The pre-subscripts show the linking between phonological structure and syntactic structure (henceforth PS-SS correspondences), while the post-subscripts show the linking between syntactic structure and con ceptual structure (henceforth SS-CS correspondences); this linking is necessary as idioms do not have word-by-word mapping.

Non-pathological first language forgetting is studied by socio- and psycholinguists. Psycholinguistic research relies on the same meth odological approaches used in studies of bilingual memory. The pre sent chapter gives a brief overview of theories, tasks, and findings pertaining to this domain of research. The reported empirical study contributes...
The notion of a lexicon as a reference list of words is familiar to anyone who has used a dictionary or studied a foreign language. However, there are a number of important differences between the mental lexicon and conventional diction-aries, designed by people for speciÞc purposes. In the words of Hanks (2000),
The present study is aimed to investigate the issue of how a human stores and access the knowledge of two or multiple language based on three models of bilingual and multilingual mental lexicon and to discuss the characteristics of interlanguage transfer found in bilingual and multilingual speakers.
