متن کاملThe influence of native-language tones on lexical access in the second language.
When listening to speech in a second language, bilinguals' perception of acoustic-phonetic properties is often influenced by the features that are important in the native language of the bilingual.

The present study investigates whether the effect of L1 experi...

The focus was on cases where two different senses of a polys...
