Bimodal bilinguals co-activate both languages during spoken comprehension.
Bilinguals have been shown to activate their two languages in parallel, and this process can often be attributed to overlap in input between the two languages. The present study examines whether two languages that do not overlap in input structure, and that have distinct phonological systems, such as American Sign Language (ASL) and English, are also activated in parallel. Hearing ASL-English b...
متن کاملBilinguals activate words from both languages when listening to spoken sentences: Evidence from an ERP-study
The current study examines whether bilingual word recognition in spoken sentences is influenced by cross-lingual phonological similarity. ERPs were measured while GermanEnglish bilinguals listened to German sentences. Target words in the sentences were either German-English homophones (e.g., eagle – Igel ‘hedgehog’), German words that were phonologically closely related to English words (e.g., ...
متن کاملInteractivity During Spoken Word Recognition: Evidence from Bimodal Bilinguals
We explore the role of top-down information in language processing by investigating parallel language activation in bimodal bilinguals, who are fluent users of a spoken and a signed language. In an eye-tracking study, bimodal bilinguals showed activation of their signed language while receiving input in English only. Since spoken and signed languages do not share structure, the results suggest ...
متن کاملBilinguals Show Weaker Lexical Access During Spoken Sentence Comprehension.
When bilinguals process written language, they show delays in accessing lexical items relative to monolinguals. The present study investigated whether this effect extended to spoken language comprehension, examining the processing of sentences with either low or high semantic constraint in both first and second languages. English-German bilinguals, German-English bilinguals and English monoling...
متن کاملCo-speech gesture in bimodal bilinguals.
The effects of knowledge of sign language on co-speech gesture were investigated by comparing the spontaneous gestures of bimodal bilinguals (native users of American Sign Language and English; n = 13) and non-signing native English speakers (n = 12). Each participant viewed and re-told the Canary Row cartoon to a non-signer whom they did not know. Nine of the thirteen bimodal bilinguals produc...
