  abstract  = {Using methods of statistical analysis, we investigate how semantic knowledge is
	acquired in English as a second language and evaluate the pace of development
	across a number of predicate types and content word combinations, as well as
	across the levels of language proficiency and native languages. Our exploratory
	study helps identify the most problematic areas for language learners with
	different backgrounds and at different stages of learning.},
