Integrated Phonological Processing in Bilinguals: Evidence from Spoken Word Recognition
نویسنده
چکیده
The role of cross-linguistic phonological overlap in native and non-native word recognition was examined using an auditory lexical decision task. The degree of phonological overlap across languages was manipulated. Cross-linguistic overlap facilitated word recognition in the non-native language, but inhibited word recognition in the native language. The observed facilitation and inhibition effects provide evidence for a parallel account of bilingual word recognition and suggest an asymmetry in native and non-native phonological processing.

Spoken Word Recognition of Code-Switched Words by Chinese-English Bilinguals
Two experiments with Chinese–English bilinguals were conducted to examine the recognition of code-switched words in speech. In Experiment 1, listeners were asked to identify a codeswitched word in a sentence on the basis of increasing fragments of the word. In Experiment 2, listeners repeated the code-switched word following a predesignated point upon hearing the sentence. Converging evidence f...
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 کاملCross-script phonological priming for Japanese-English bilinguals: Evidence for integrated phonological representations
Previous masked phonological priming studies with bilinguals whose languages are written in the same script (e.g., Dutch-French bilinguals) strongly suggest that phonological representations for the two languages are integrated, based on the fact that phonological activation created by reading a word in one language facilitates word identification in the other language. The present research exa...
