本研究考察了学习者词汇附带习得与其英语水平的关系，以及与语篇中词频的关系。参加者是三个熟练程度的土耳其英语学习者。一个阅读文本和四个词汇测试，在两个星期的时间内管理。对数据的分析表明，从阅读中获得的词汇量对各组来说都是显著的（p <0.05）。高水平组比低水平组能够获得更多的单词。语篇中的词频也是词汇习得的一个重要因素（p <0.051），其中词频占词汇习得方差的29%。然而，频率在低水平学习者词汇习得中的作用并不比高水平学习者大。
This study examined the relationship between learners' incidental vocabulary acquisition and their level of proficiency, and between acquisition and word frequency in a text. Participants were Turkish learners of English at three proficiency levels. One reading text and four vocabulary tests were administered over a two-week period. Analyses of the data revealed that lexical gains from reading were significant for each group (p < .05). The higher proficiency groups were able to acquire more words than lower level groups. Word frequency in the text was also a signijicant fac tor in vocabulary acquisition (p <,051, with 29% of the variance in acquisition being accounted for by frequency. However, frequency did not play a greater role in the vocabulary acquisition of lower level learners than in that of higher level learners.
