Abstract
Inspired by Pavlenko's theories on bilingualism and cognition, this thesis aims at raising awareness on the value of experience in the L2 context during second language acquisition. In the present study, ESL students are proposed as subjects for a two-phase test that aims at investigating the differences between semantic and conceptual representations of L2 lexical items. The ESL Head-word Target–word Test instrument is proposed along with the Abbreviated Multidimensional Acculturation Scale by Zea et al. (2003), to determine whether there exists a correlation between experience with L2 culture and L2 concepts and meanings‟ retrieval.
