Abstract

In this article, an experiment testing the lexical delay in L2 through the L3 acquisition (taking English as L2 and Arabic as L3) will be introduced. A quantitative method will be conducted to measure if there is a lexical delay in English after learning Arabic after a year. Also, some adjustment of the test will be made to better apply to the experiment. All the participants will do a test twice (before Arabic acquisition and after a year of learning Arabic) and a control group will be set up to make the contrastive analysis. Afterwards, we will see if there is a delay and what kind of the delay is. This experiment, though highly preliminary, attempts to get a deeper insight into this filed.
