Chunking of Mental Lexicon:Lexical Construction and Semantic Tendencies of EFL Learners

摘要：

　　Chunking or formulaic sequence is the lexical and grammatical unit of semantic composition in the output of sentences. Based on the basic research on lexical chunks and its multidimensional dynamic features, this study is to explore the chunking mechanism of mental lexicon for EFL learners. The researchers designed two EFL vocabulary development experiments and concluded the following conclusion: (1) the type of semantic representation of bilingual mental lexicon is determined by the intensity of the concept, and depends on the level of the EFL learners; (2) the bilingual lexical representation tends to be the development of the continuum: EFL learners with low language level is near the beginning of the continuum, while EFL learners with high levels is closing on the terminal position.
