Native-like Event-related Potentials in Processing the Second Language Syntax: Late Bilinguals
Background: The P600 brain wave reflects syntactic processes in response to different first language (L1) syntactic violations, syntactic repair, structural reanalysis, and specific semantic components. Unlike semantic processing, aspects of the second language (L2) syntactic processing differ from the L1, particularly at lower levels of proficiency. At higher L2 proficiency, syntactic violatio...
متن کاملPragmatic Awareness of the Request Speech Act in English as an Additional Language: Monolinguals or Bilinguals?
This study attempted to investigate the effect of bilingualism on pragmaticawareness and development among Iranian Turkish/Persian EFL learners. Data werecollected through a personal profile questionnaire with questions about theparticipants’ language background and a WDCT with 10 situations to determine theextent to which the bilinguals demonstrated their pragmatic awareness of requests.They w...
متن کاملIs lexical selection in bilingual speech production language-specific? Further evidence from SpanishEnglish and EnglishSpanish bilinguals
In this study we address the question of how lexical selection is achieved by bilingual speakers during speech production. Speci®cally, we test whether there is competition between the two lexicons of a bilingual during lexical access. In two picture±word interference experiments we explore the performance of two groups of bilinguals, English±Spanish and Spanish±English pro®cient bilinguals whi...
متن کاملDual language use in sign-speech bimodal bilinguals: fNIRS brain-imaging evidence.
UNLABELLED The brain basis of bilinguals' ability to use two languages at the same time has been a hotly debated topic. On the one hand, behavioral research has suggested that bilingual dual language use involves complex and highly principled linguistic processes. On the other hand, brain-imaging research has revealed that bilingual language switching involves neural activations in brain areas ...
متن کاملLanguage selection in bilinguals: a spatio-temporal analysis of electric brain activity.
Language selection refers to the cognitive mechanism that allows bilinguals to communicate in one language or the other and to switch between languages depending on the listener. Previous studies suggested that various brain areas might be involved in this process. However, the question remains whether language selection is achieved through a language-specific mechanism or through a general cog...
