Discussion: Incidental Vocabulary Learning.
Gass, Susan
Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v21 n2 p319-33 Jun 1999
Discusses articles contained in this special issue of the journal, raising issues concerning key terms, with particular emphasis on "incidental." Argues there is no clear way to show that a word has been learned incidentally, if the suggestion is that specific attention is not drawn to that word either by some external force or by the learner. Also argues to understand word learning, investigations cannot be limited to word meaning. (Author/VWL)
