Měření lexikální komplexnosti projevu L2 mluvčích pomocí frekvenčních seznamů slov

Rálišová, Diana

and Key Words The linguistic concept of complexity as a component of the CAF triad is used to describe the complexity of texts, either spoken (transcribed) or written, and to describe speaker advancedness not only in L1, but also in L2 research. On the most basic level, lexical complexity and syntactic complexity can be distinguished, however, complexity is a multidimensional concept and many different descriptions and operationalisations exist; there is an even wider gap in terms of measuring lexical complexity of L2 oral speech with lexical frequency wordlists as studies on lexical sophistication have yielded inconsistent and sometimes inconclusive results; the majority of studies on lexical sophistication, one of the subdivisions of lexical complexity, have been carried out on written learner production. For this reason, this thesis focuses on measuring lexical complexity in L2 speech with word frequency lists; more specifically, it presumes that C1 speakers would produce more of complex vocabulary (low-frequency vocabulary) than B2 speakers in our sample; this thesis also attempts to correlate word frequency list results with English Vocabulary Profile results and compare the individual speakers. For this analysis 10 B2 and 10 C1 Czech speakers of English were selected from the LINDSEI spoken...
