Thesis (Ph.D.)--Swansea University (United Kingdom), 2006.

This thesis investigates the acquisition of L2 lexical knowledge as a result of dictionary use. It main focus is on the value of monolingual learner dictionaries, both in terms of meaning comprehension of looked-up words and in the retention of lexical information. The thesis contains reports and discussions of two sets of investigations into dictionary use by Japanese learners of English. The first set of studies includes comparisons between dictionary entries and written contexts for target L2 words as resources for the comprehension and retention of lexical information, and comparisons between different word classes for these two types of resource. These studies lead us to a recognition of the limitations of traditional investigation methods using a pretest - learning condition - posttest format with small numbers of target words to address many issues central to L2 vocabulary acquisition and dictionary use. Four case studies are reported in which participants encounter very large numbers of targeted words through extensive reading and dictionary use. Participants were also repeatedly tested for knowledge of the items using the self-rating instrument V_ States (Meara, 2000). This method has produced very rich data showing the effect of dictionary use both on looked up words and for targeted words that were not looked up. Further, the studies have shown the value of matrices derived from these data to produce projections enabling the comparison of the two conditions of reading with and without dictionary use on vocabulary acquisition.
