摘要

Vocabulary learning is an essential part of second language acquisition. However, the rich meanings behind vocabulary deserve attention. This article draws on two core concepts, semantic prosody and synonymy, to illustrate the difficulties of vocabulary learning in the second language classes and to explore the importance of semantic relations for vocabulary teaching and learning.
