Lexical Issues in L2 Writing
Edited by Päivi Pietilä, Katalin Doró, and Renata Pípalová
Published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing

Research into lexical issues has been one of the most rapidly growing areas of second language acquisition studies in recent years, and understandably so: the importance of vocabulary can hardly be denied. This volume concentrates on vocabulary in written language, mostly in academic settings. The target language (L2) in the studies reported in the volume is English, except in one study on the lexical competence of multilingual learners of French. Each chapter constitutes an independent unit, but together the studies reported in them give the reader a varied and extensive picture of lexical issues in L2 writing. The authors approach their topics from different perspectives and use diverse research methods, adding to the multifaceted nature of the volume. The book will be of interest to researchers, educators and students of second language acquisition and applied linguistics.
