Abstract EN

Second language acquisition has become one of the most important fields in applied linguistics.

As the field of second language acquisition gained popularity, the majority of its research was concerned with the acquisition of syntactic structures.

Consequently, as research grew, more language elements received more attention which led to advances in the pedagogical aspect of language itself.

Vocabulary and lexical semantics play an important role m a language.

The lexicon is one of the core elements which contributes to a learner's language development.

As Zimmerman (1997, p5) states: "Vocabulary is central to a language and is of crucial importance to the typical language learner".

Hunt and Beglar (2005) assert that" the heart of language comprehension and use is the lexicon".

Semantics has increasingly received more attention in many areas such as syntax, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, and psycholinguistics.

This study investigates the developmental acquisition of lexical semantics with a focus on the universality of acquisition
