Sažetak
In this paper the authors discuss L2 lexical diversity in the context of early learning
of English as L2. They describe the study they carried out with Croatian early beginners
in order to see which levels of lexical diversity they reached after four years of
learning and which linguistic and non-linguistic factors lexical diversity interacted
with. Their findings indicate that young learners differ in their lexical development
and that lexical diversity interacts with the learners’ attitudes, motivation and selfconcept
as well as a number of contextual factors.
