Abstract

The article is devoted to studying the theoretical foundations of the structure and dynamics of semantic memory of foreign language learners. The methodological basis of the research comprises the principles of cultural-historical psychology, network-based approach, graph theory and results of bilingual studies. The results of this study reveal the content of semantic memory, its organization and its dynamics in foreign language learning.
