NNS Readers' Strategies for Inferring the Meanings of Unknown Words.
Arden-Close, Christopher
Reading in a Foreign Language, v9 n2 p867-93 Spr 1993
Compares strategies used to infer the meanings of unknown words by three NNS readers--a good reader, an average reader, and a poor reader--from a series of six readings. The good reader uses a wider range of strategies than the weaker ones; all readers "read in" meanings from their own specialized subject (in this case chemistry). (15 references) (Author/CK)
