Redes semánticas en el léxico disponible de inglés L1 e inglés LE

Abstract

Lexical availability has been widely used in the Spanish-speaking world for more than two decades. However, only in recent years has there been growing interest in its cognitive aspects. The present article deals with semantic relations of words in lexical availabily tests. A group of advanced EFL students, native speakers of Spanish, and a similar group of native speakers of English were examined. These subjects were given a lexical availability test that required them to produce words from different semantic categories. The resulting semantic relations were then made explicit by means of several graphs or semantic networks which showed that EFL students distinguish only large semantic categories, while native speakers of English organise words into highly specific subcategories.
