Harrington considers vocabulary size and speed, as reflected in retrieval speed and consistency, as a three-dimensional measurement construct termed lexical facility. While size and retrieval speed are generally known, this is the first attempt to incorporate consistency, as measured by the coefficient of variation, as an index of vocabulary skill. Part 1 describes the three dimensions and the roles they play on lower level text processing and thus on second language performance more generally. Part 2 reports on seven studies and related research that investigate the sensitivity of the three dimensions, both individually and in combination, to proficiency differences in common domains of academic English performance. Harrington?s framework and the theoretical and methodological issues that arise are presented in a manner accessible to a wide readership, including second language acquisition vocabulary researchers, testing and assessment practitioners, and those interested in second language research methodology. Michael Harring ton teaches in the postgraduate program in Applied Linguistics at the University of Queensland, Australia. He publishes in second language acquisition, second language lexical and cognitive processes, and testing and assessment. . 606 $aApplied linguistics 606 $aPsycholinguistics 606 $aLexicology 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aApplied Linguistics 606 $aPsycholinguistics and Cognitive Lingusitics 606 $aLexicolopgy / Vocabulary 606 $aTheoretical Linguistics / Grammar 615 0$aApplied linguistics. 615 0$aPsycholinguistics. 615 0$aLexicology. 615 0$aLinguistics. 615 14$aApplied Linguistics. 615 24$aPsycholinguistics and Cognitive Lingusitics. 615 24$aLexicolopgy / Vocabulary. 615 24$aTheoretical Linguistics / Grammar. 676 $a410 700 $aHarrington$b Michael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0126528 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300854803321 996 $aLexical Facility$92217848 997 $aUNINA
