Abstract The aims of the study were to examine the correlation and prediction of different dimensions of vocabulary depth knowledge to academic reading comprehension. Students were instructed to take part in four English-language proficiency tests voluntarily. The research was carried out, administering four instruments, word associates test, morphological knowledge test, and analytic relations test to measure the depth of vocabulary knowledge. In addition, a reading comprehension test that consisted of three reading passages by Longman Test of English as a Foreign Language was adopted and administered for the current study. The results highlighted that the analytic (part–whole) relations, which represented the depth of vocabulary knowledge had the highest correlation with academic reading comprehension in comparison with morphological knowledge and combined syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations, which represented word associates test. Of all the three independent variables, analytical relations made the most statistically significant unique contribution to the prediction of the outcome variable compared to word associates test and morphological knowledge. The present study suggests that the depth of vocabulary knowledge would have practical use for students and English teachers at tertiary level and further implications for lexical researchers.

词汇深度知识的解析关系与组合关系和范式关系：它们与英语学习者的学术阅读理解之间的关联和预测

摘要研究的目的是检验词汇深度知识的不同维度与学术阅读理解的相关性和预测。指示学生自愿参加四项英语水平测试。进行了这项研究，管理着四种工具，即单词联想测试，形态知识测试和解析关系测试，以测量词汇知识的深度。此外，本研究采用并进行了一项朗读测试，该测试包括三篇朗文英语作为外语测试的阅读文章。结果强调，分析（部分-整个）关系，词汇知识的深度与形态学知识，组合式和范式的关系相比，与词汇阅读的相关性最高，这代表了单词联想测试。在所有三个自变量中，与单词联想测试和词法知识相比，分析关系对结果变量的预测在统计上具有最显着的独特贡献。本研究表明，词汇知识的深度将对大专生和英语教师具有实际用途，并且对词汇研究人员有进一步的影响。与单词联想测试和形态学知识相比，分析关系对结果变量的预测具有统计学上最显着的独特贡献。本研究表明，词汇知识的深度将对大专生和英语教师具有实际用途，并且对词汇研究人员有进一步的影响。与单词联想测试和形态学知识相比，分析关系对结果变量的预测具有统计学上最显着的独特贡献。本研究表明，词汇知识的深度将对大专生和英语教师具有实际用途，并且对词汇研究人员有进一步的影响。
