In the past thirty years, L2 vocabulary acquisition has become one of the hottest areas of SLA. Cognitive explorations of L2 vocabulary acquisition are of great theoretical value since they intend to approach the essence of L2 vocabulary acquisition from different perspectives such as the mental representation of L2 vocabulary, L2 lexical development, L2 lexical processing, etc. This paper compares and contrasts three cognitive models concerning L2 vocabulary acquisition, summarizes several weaknesses of current studies on L2 vocabulary acquisition and points out several problems that remain to be solved in this field.
