Keywords:
Knowledge sources, Lexical inference strategies, Japanese readingAbstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate and analyze the use of knowledge sources in lexical inference strategies in Japanese reading of Thai learners at an intermediate-high level. The participants were 28 Thai learners who passed the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) at N2 level. The research instruments used in this study was a guessing
meaning test. The results revealed that the overall success rate of lexical inferencing was moderate. The top 3 types of the knowledge sources in lexical inference strategies used by Thai
learners were as follows: 1) word level 2) sentence level and 3) word and sentence level while the top 3 types of the successful knowledge sources in lexical inferencing were as follows: 1) word level 2) word and sentence level and 3) sentence level. However, for the inference the meaning of unknown words, the using a knowledge source from context (sentence level and discourse level) will be more successful than the using a knowledge source with a target word level a little.
