Cognitive Factors of Lexical Availability in a Second Language
2013Previous research has shown that lexical availability is a complex property influenced by factors such as typicality, age of acquisition and concept familiarity (Hernandez Munoz N, Izura C, Ellis AW, Eur J Cogn Psychol 18:734–755, 2006). The influence of these factors might change in second languages (L2) due to variations in age of learning ...
