Vocabulary acquisition is one of the major issues in second-language learning. When we learn new foreign words, how are they stored and organized in our mind? Do they form an independent lexical network in the L1(first language) lexicon, or are they integrated directly into the L1 lexicon? Knowing how humans fit words together in the mental lexicon and the structure of the human word web can provide language teachers useful information regarding which words to teach and how to teach them. Psycholinguistic experiments have been attempting to build models of the mental lexicon. Word-association tests are considered one effective method that should be able to provide some clues regarding the structure of the mental lexicon, however, it is still unresolved if the L1 mental lexicon and L2(second language) mental lexicon are independent or interdependent of each other. This study investigated the results of free word association experiments administered to 38 subjects. They were given an English(L2) word as a stimulus and instructed to build a word web based on whichever English word came into their mind within 30 minutes. A month later, the same subjects were given a Japanese(L1) equivalent of the same stimulus and instructed to build a word web in Japanese within 30 minutes. The results suggest that their word associations are primarily inspired by affective relations in both L1 and L2 lexicons. The frequency of paradigmatic relations was significantly low in both L1 and L2 results as compared with syntagmatic relations. There were similarities and differences in the responses of L1 and L2 regarding adjective-noun, or verb-noun associations. Each point is discussed in this paper.
