features. In learners’ receptive word knowledge, the L2-specific elements exist and the learners can successively map the L2 word forms onto the meanings that are not shared by their L1 counterparts. That is to say, learners make use of the L1 meaning system selectively. L1 parasite is only a part of the picture. (3) Form-meaning mapping in SLVA is not done once for all and the meaning features are not immutable to alterations. With the increase of the L2 proficiency, the L1 dependence tends to lessen while the L2 semantic autonomy is gradually strengthened. Chinese EFL learners recognize and reject more and more Chinglish expressions. Lots of L2-specific meanings and collocations without the corresponding representation in production are emerging in their receptive word knowledge. The fact that the advanced learners still produce some unidiomatic expressions under the influence of L1 suggests that the shrinking of the L1 influence, however, does not mean complete disappearance. L1 parasite, to some extent, is the long-lasting feature of second language vocabulary acquisition. Chapter Six deals with the general discussion. All the findings are discussed within the theoretical framework and the related literature. We hold that the first feature we found has direct bearing on the cognitive economy and the semantic equivalence hypothesis. The second and third feature are the demonstration of the meaning restructuring that is driven by the L2 input exposure and the explicit learning (instruction). The meaning restructuring which begins with the recognition and acceptance of the L2-specific elements is a slow and long process whose final accomplishment cannot be achieved before a long period. In addition, the meaning features presented by the FMM have something to do with the learners’ lexical learning strategies and their belief on the distance between the meaning systems. Finally the thesis winds up with the conclusion, implications and the suggestions for further stud
