Title: Book: Interlanguage Lexical Innovation
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/19/19-3142.html Title: Interlanguage Lexical Innovation Author: Elsa M. González Álvarez Publisher: Lincom GmbH Summary: Lexical innovation has been dealt with both in studies of second language lexical acquisition and communication, the former often trying to determine the principles that govern the acquisition of the word formation system of a language, the latter studying the application of these processes to compensate for deficiencies in interlanguage vocabulary during communication. Both approaches are combines in the present work, which focuses on lexical innovation in the oral production of Spanish learners of L2 English. The analysis and classification of the examples of lexical innovation spotted in the corpus provides a linguistic description of the word formation system of these learners' interlanguage, by determining the frequency of application of these mechanisms as well as the influence of linguistic, contextual and individual variables. The participation of subjects of different proficiency levels in the L2 allows checking whether the principles of productivity, transparency and simplicity have any influence on the acquisition of L2 word formation. Finally, the detailed analysis of a selection of examples in context allows us to trace the psychological processes that take place during communication, and to ascertain the extent to which some contextual variables influence process selection.

Title: October 2008 Issue of Reading in a Foreign Language
Body: The October 2008 issue (Volume 20, Number 2) of the electronic journal Reading in a Foreign Language (RFL) is now online and can be read at http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/rfl/October2008 This issue is a special issue on reading and vocabulary, guest-edited by Rob Waring. In this issue, Ronan Brown, Rob Waring, and Sangrawee Donkaewbua present the results of their study on incidental vocabulary acquisition from reading, reading-while-listening, and listening to stories. Diana Pulido and David Z. Hambrick report on their study that models individual differences in second language reading and vocabulary development via structural equation modeling. Soo-Ok Kweon and Hae-Ri Kim examine incidental vocabulary acquisition in extensive reading by looking at the relationship among amount of incidental vocabulary acquisition, proportion of vocabulary retention, and effect of occurrence frequency and word classes. Caleb Prichard evaluates the dictionary use of Japanese university students to determine how selective they are when reading nonfiction English texts for general comprehension. Stuart Webb presents his study that addresses the effects of context on incidental vocabulary learning. Stephen Alessi and Angelique Dwyer contrasts vocabulary assistance before and during reading. The feature, “Readings on L2 Reading: Publications in Other Venues,” presents references through 2007-2008.
