詞彙在語言習得與應用中從來都占據著重要的位
置，對這個問題的研究也是方興未艾。施密特著的《
詞彙研究》在綜述各種詞彙研究方法的基礎上，對如
何實施效度和信度兼備的母語及二語詞彙研究提出了
實用的建議，幫助讀者進行有效的詞彙研究。 全書
共四部分。第一部分對已有的詞彙研究進行回顧，提
出在設計詞彙研究時必須要考慮的關鍵問題。第二部
分闡述詞彙研究的基礎，如詞彙研究應包括的因素，
以及詞彙研究應關注的一個典型現像——語塊現像。
第三部分探討詞彙研究的實施細則，如研究方法和研
究對像的選擇、研究結果的解讀和彙報等：並對如何
測量詞彙進行詳盡闡述。最後一部分介紹詞彙研究資
源，包括研究工具、語料庫、詞彙表、網站、文獻以
及該研究領域的代表人物等。
本書既可作為研究生、高年級本科生學習詞彙研
究方法的教材，又可作為該領域研究者的重要參考資
料。
