Project description
This research project aims to take the measure of what contemplation of the form-meaning fit of new words can do to foster new L2 word learning. Form-meaning motivation means that a retrospective explanation can be sought as to why a linguistic unit has come in a particular form or carries a particular meaning. These form-meaning associations has been shown to facilitate the retrieval of new words.
