Description
In this presentation we introduce a model for the multivariate nature of word difficulty in a Japanese context. Of particular note is the role of loanwords in vocabulary learning and their contribution to the construct of lexical complexity. A better understanding of word learning difficulty has the potential to refine L2 test construction and syllabus planning.
