Book: Knowledge-based Vocabulary Lists
Chapter: Comparison of the KVL with Alternative Lists

Chapter 9 provides statistical insight into the degree of correspondence between the three KVL and other published lists of vocabulary acquisition sequence and difficulty. Correlation analysis indicates that none of these alternative lists predicts the KVL knowledge rankings to any great degree. The value of the KVL are discussed in terms of providing one of the few evidence-based descriptions of L2 form-recall knowledge available to teachers and researchers.
