Previous research has concentrated on exploring via word association tests&lt;br&gt;how learners organize their L1 and L2 lexicons. Additionally, the closeness between the native&lt;br&gt;and the L2 lexicons are also object of analysis in research. Lexical uniqueness has also been&lt;br&gt;used as a measure to determine “nativeness”. In the present study, we had two groups of&lt;br&gt;Greek B1 and C1 level learners of Spanish FL answer a lexical availability task and compared&lt;br&gt;their results with those of a group of native speakers. We found that proficiency level is crucial&lt;br&gt;in the determination of lexical uniqueness and lexicon organization via lexical associations&lt;br&gt;obtained with a lexical availability task. Furthermore, our results revealed that thematic field&lt;br&gt;is a relevant factor in speakers’ associative behaviour and lexicon organization. Results are&lt;br&gt;discussed in light of previous research findings and pedagogical implications are proposed.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
