Parallel activation of multiple languages in trilinguals: Evidence from eye movements and individual differences
Trilinguals’ three languages can be activated simultaneously, but the patterns of co-activation in the language network remain unclear. Our study examines language processing and co-activation in trilingual speakers of Russian, Hebrew, and English. Participants completed a visual search eye-tracking experiment in three languages with cross-linguistic competitors from either one or two languages present in the visual display, as well as vocabulary…
Dynamics of competition and co-activation in trilingual lexical processing: An eye-tracking study
In recent decades, many eye-tracking studies have demonstrated that both languages of bilingual speakers are activated while processing phonological input in only one. To date, there have been no eye-tracking co-activation studies assessing word recognition among trilinguals. The present research investigates co-activation in all three languages of 48 Russian (Heritage Language)/Hebrew (Societal Language)/English (Third Language) speakers using a…
Sentiments Towards Heritage Languages and Their Speakers
Research on heritage languages has grown in both volume and scale over the last 30 years. More recently, researchers have begun observing shifts in the ways in which heritage languages and their speakers are being portrayed within the field, newly emphasizing more positive characterizations. In the present meta-analysis, we combine two methodologies to test the extent to which these positive trends in sentiment are reflected in the field of herit…
Lexical production and innovation in child and adult Russian Heritage speakers dominant in English and Hebrew
The present study investigated lexical production and innovation of 202 participants across six groups: child and adult heritage speakers of Russian, dominant in Hebrew or American English, and monolingual Russian-speaking children and adults. Understanding quantitative performance across these six groups was intended to provide a comprehensive perspective on heritage language (HL) development, while comparing the participants’ qualitative non-ta…
Cross-linguistic influence meets diminished input: A comparative study of heritage Russian in contact with Hebrew and English
While it is known that heritage speakers diverge from the homeland baseline, there is still no consensus on the mechanisms triggering this divergence. We investigate the impact of two potential factors shaping adult heritage language (HL) grammars: (1) cross-linguistic influence (CLI), originally proposed for second language acquisition (SLA), and (2) background factors associated with input. To assess the role of CLI and input we compared two gr…
A Portrait of Lexical Knowledge among Adult Hebrew Heritage Speakers Dominant in American English: Evidence from Naming and Narrative Tasks
While the field of heritage language (HL) bilingualism has grown substantially in recent years, no studies have considered heritage Hebrew speakers dominant in American English. Expanding HL studies to new language pairs is crucial to understand the generalizability of prior findings across diverse linguistic contexts. In the current study, we assess 40 adult participants (16 M, 24 F) and present an overview of their lexical abilities, as derived…
