- Receptive vocabulary size and its relationship to EFL language skills (2018, result): “…listening, although there is a medium correlation between receptive vocabulary size and oral fluency, two dimensions that have rarely been studied together in spite of Hilton (2008)’s results, which emphasised the importance of lexical knowledge for fluent 20 Imma Miralpeix and Carmen Muñoz speech.”
- Second Language Comprehensibility Revisited: Investigating the Effects of Learner Background (2015, background): “In order to accurately relay the story, participants must use the items in the pictures, and thus it is likely that their perceived disfluency is linked to a lexical search for vocabulary they are less familiar with (Hilton, 2008).”
- Complexity, accuracy and fluency in second language acquisition (2009, background): “Historically, and in lay usage, fluency typically refers to a person's general language proficiency, particularly as characterized by perceptions of ease, eloquence and ‘smoothness’ of speech or writing (Chambers 1997; Freed 2000; Guillot 1999; Hilton 2008; Lennon 1990; Koponen and Riggenbach 2000).”
- Does a Speaking Task Affect Second Language Comprehensibility (2015, background): “As picture narratives require speakers to describe objects and actions depicted in each image, perceived disfluencies in this task may be due to a search for vocabulary that learners might not know (Hilton, 2008), which should matter less in unstructured monologue- and dialogue-based tasks.”
