Models of access to the mental lexicon a critical analytical study of the lexical structure of the Arabic language book for the fifth grade of Primary school

Abstract

The study analyzes the lexical structure of the Arabic language textbook for fifth-grade primary school (second generation), evaluating access models to the mental lexicon for enhancing linguistic competence.

It employs a descriptive-analytical methodology grounded in psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics, tracing sequential search, logogen, and cohort models in "Read and Understand" and "Enrich My Language" exercises.

Key issues probe the textbook's reliance on mental lexicon theory and the efficacy of definition strategies in perceiving and producing lexical units.

Analysis reveals how explanations and synonyms consolidate lexical stock, facilitating rapid retrieval and communicative deployment among learners.
