Decompositional View of Word Form and Its Pedagogical Implication: From the Perspective of Word Formation Reference Books
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The vocabulary of a foreign language is always challenging for L2 learners, especially those morphologically complex words. How do these words stored in the mental lexicon? Over years of research, psycholinguists put forward two influential approaches: the decompositional approach and the full-listing approach. This paper studies the application of the decompositional approach of word form from the perspective of word formation reference books available in China. Questionnaires concerning learners’ methods of learning English vocabulary were send out first, an interview with a smaller number of participants was conducted to provide a deeper insight into the common merits and defects of word formation reference books and provide pedagogical implications for the future vocabulary instruction in China. Key words: decompositional approach, mental lexicon, pedagogical implications Resume: Le vocabulaire d’une langue etrangere est toujours dur pour les apprenants d’une deuxieme langue etrangere, notamment pour les mots morphologiquement complexes. Comment stocker ces mots dans le lexique mental ? Apres des annees de recherches, les psycholinguistes mettent en avant deux approches influentes : l’approche decompositionnelle et l’approche de plein-liste. Le present article etudie l’application de l’approche decompositionnelle de la formation du mot dans la perspective des ouvrages de reference sur la formation du mot disponibles en Chine. Les questionnaires concernant les methodes d’apprentissage du vocabulaire anglais sont distribues d’abord, puis un interview avec un petit nombre de participants est effectue pour offrir une connaissance plus profonde sur les merites et les defauts communs des ouvrages de reference sur la formation du mot et donner des implications pedagogiques a la future instruction du vocabulaire en Chine. Mots-Cles: approche decompositionnelle, lexique mental, implications pedagogiques 摘 要：對於二語學習者來說，辭彙部分總是很有挑戰性的，特別是那些在構詞上比較複雜的辭彙。這些複雜的辭彙是如何儲存在大腦中的？經過多年的研究，心理語言學家們提出了兩個有影響力的說法：分裂構詞和整體呈現。本文從中國市場上已有的構詞法參考書出發來研究構詞法在英語教學中的應用。首先，我發出了一份針對學習者如何學習英語辭彙的問卷，其次，進行了一場只有小部分問卷回答者參與的採訪，採訪的目的是為了對構詞法參考書的作用有更深入的認識，並且為中國未來的英語辭彙教學提供一些方向。 關鍵詞：構詞；大腦辭彙；教學啟示

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
