这本《中国英语学习者歧义词表征与加工研究(精)》由赵晨著。目前的研究主要探讨母语的词汇歧义消解过程，二语习得者的词汇歧义消解过程还没有得到应有的重视；另外，按照理论语言学的解释，歧义词应该包括同形异义词(homograph)、同音异义词(homop}lone)和多义词(polvsems)。多义词有可分为隐喻性多义词和转喻性多义词。目前的研究讨论了同形异义词和同音异义词的歧义消除，很少提及多义词的歧义消除。当然这也是本书着重解决的问题。本书从词汇语义表征形成与发展的角度，探讨了中国英语学习者在词汇表征建构的不同阶段、词汇多义不同纬度(三种歧义词)的通达特征。它由十章组成。除了第一章的“导言”和第十章的“结论”以外，其他八章为本书的主体。
