Based on the authors diligent research, it is observed that many second language learners are hard to obtain an obvious progress after studying English for a long time, no matter how hard they work. This is actually a kind of fossilization phenomena，which often makes second language learn

The phenomena may occur in all linguistic aspects such as phonological fossilization, lexical fossilization, pragmatic fossilization etc. Lexis, as the base of a language, consists of its most impor

Over the past 30 years or so, many researchers and linguists have made various careful studies on

In our country, generally a vocabulary chart is attached in an English teaching material, and one or several Chinese e

In this situation, when students try to remember the English words, they bear the so-called corresponding Chinese meaning in mind, and store them in the brain. Consequently when an English word is referred, they would reflect the limited and superficial meaning spontaneously. As time passes, deeply-rooted fossilization comes into being.Fossilization is a serious problem to the English learners. If we dont take it into consideration we may keep stil
