cognate

The studies that focus on cognate recognition point to the fact that even though a precise definition of cognates is warranted to fine-tuned research objectives about this topic, there is no consensus on the definition of this term in the literature (Friel & Keninson, 2001: 251; de Bot: 2004: 19).

Although claimed to be able to discriminate between proficiency levels, Horst and Collins (2006) found out that, in some cases, LFP did not identify the expected increases in use of less frequent words; therefore they complemented their analysis with other indicators such as the Greco-Latin cognate index, which is also an extrinsic measure inasmuch as words are categorised in terms of their origin (that is, whether they are present in a list of cognates or not).
