Abstract

Recently, the study on lexical gap phenomenon has not been only the study on whole-word gap and hypernym-hyponym gap, but also the research on word formation gap and lexical development mode gap, etc. However, recent vocabulary teaching in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL) is still based on language comparison, which leads to the ignorance of the systematicness of this phenomenon. This study will reveal the importance of lexical gap phenomenon at the primary stage of vocabulary teaching in TCFL with the common word “Apple”. The rational use of the systematicness of the lexical gap phenomenon will help learners increase morphological awareness.
