掌握词汇是外语学习的一个重要组成部分，对心理词汇的理解有助于制定更好的教学策略。双语者语义记忆组织的心理语言学研究表明，第二词汇的习得不仅仅是简单地将新单词与第一语言中已经词汇化的概念相匹配。在两种语言中，词组之间的语义关系可能非常不同。一个熟练的双语者如何在语义记忆中保持两种不同的关系结构尚不清楚，但很明显，学习者需要帮助来掌握语义关系和语义表示。WordNet是一个基于心理语言学原理的在线英语词汇数据库，它描述了语言学习任务中这一关系部分的目标。有人认为，像Word-Net这样的语义网络对于教授第二语言学习者不熟悉语言的语义结构将是有价值的辅助手段。
Mastering vocabulary is a major component of foreign language learning, and a better understanding of the mental lexicon should facilitate the development of better instructional strategies. A sampling of psycholinguistic research into the organization of semantic memory in bilinguals suggests that much more is involved in acquiring a second vocabulary than simply matching new words with concepts already lexicalized in the first language. The semantic relations among groups of words can be very different in two languages. How an accomplished bilingual maintains two different relational structures in semantic memory is not clear, but it is clear that learners need assistance in mastering semantic relations as well as semantic denotations. WordNet, an on-line lexical database for English based on psycholinguistic principles, provides a description of the goal for this relational part of the language learning task. It is suggested that semantic networks like Word-Net would be valuable aids in teaching second language learners the semantic structures of an unfamiliar language.
