• Extensive research has been conducted about the L2 mental lexicon from cross-linguistic perspective. According to Aitchison (1994), children are to go through the three related but d[ferent stages in acquiring the meaning of words in L1. labeling, packaging, and network-building. So far, in the L2 studies of vocabulary acquisition, attention has been paid to labeling and packaging processes of word meaning, and network-construction seems the most neglected area of study. In the present study, we have examined some aspects of the semantic network-building in both English and Japanese by using the meaning-based word association task Jar the meaning-familiar stimulus words. Results showed that there is a great deal of similarity between English and Japanese association patterns, but that the degree of matching rate between Japanese and English associations were not so high (approximately 50-60%). Based on these results, we will discuss the organization of Japanese and English mental lexicon Jar Japanese EFL leaners and the relationships between LI and L2 mental lexicon.
