Abstract
Vocabulary plays an extremely important role in language learning. Because of its importance, more and more researchers use lexical relevance test to study psychological vocabulary. In the past half century, there have been dozens of researches on the representation structure of bilingual mental vocabulary. Through the analysis of WordNet computer data, this study analyzes the storage mode of college students’ second language psychological vocabulary. This research is carried out from the aspects of research objects, research methods, research results and research significance. It can be seen from the statistical data that semantic responses account for the largest proportion of these two types of responses, followed by formal responses and meaningless responses, which indicates that the second language research objects are mainly stored in the semantic association of psychological vocabulary. This provides support for the semantic theory of psychological vocabulary organization model.
