The purpose of this study is to explore an efficient way of measuring in-depth L2 English vocabulary knowledge, based on the ‘implicational hierarchy’ of various aspects of L2 vocabulary knowledge. To this end, data were collected from Korean EFL learners through a vocabulary knowledge test which was designed to assess L2 learners’ knowledge of meaning, morphological, and syntactic properties of English verbs. The results showed that there were significant differences in mean scores of three components of the vocabulary test, suggesting that there might be degrees of difficulty in learning the three aspects of vocabulary knowledge: [meaning > morphological knowledge > syntactic knowledge]. Furthermore, it was found that there might be some kind of implicational hierarchy of the three components. In other words, this finding might make it possible to assume that the acquisition of the most difficult aspect of vocabulary knowledge implies that of other easier aspects. Based on this assumption, a more efficient measure of in-depth L2 vocabulary knowledge was proposed.
