| Abstract | Language learners are often faced with a lack of lexical knowledge when writing in a foreign language. They might never have acquired a lexical item to express a certain idea, or they might have simply ’forgotten’ it. The latter is related to the phenomenon of lexical attrition: non-use of a language may result in delayed lexical retrieval or in temporary inaccessibility of lexical items (Ecke, 2004). Experienced language learners have developed various kinds of lexical problem-solving behaviour to cope with this lack of lexical knowledge, e.g. L1 use, backtracking, reformulations or avoidance. However, little is known about the ways in which lexical problem-solving behaviour develops in processes of language attrition. |
