  • Stimulus intelligibility impacts L1 effects on L2 visual word recognition

    Open AccessSara Guediche, Eugenia Navarra-Barindelli et al.ARTICLEJournal of Neurolinguistics2026

    For bilinguals, lexical knowledge in the native language (L1) influences word recognition in the second language (L2). When words share both form and meaning across languages, L2 visual word recognition is typically faster, a phenomenon known as the cognate facilitation effect. Such crosslinguistic lexical interaction effects have informed bilingual word recognition models that posit nonselective lexical activation across languages. However, deba…

  • The Processing of Spanish Article–Noun Gender Agreement by Monolingual and Bilingual Toddlers

    Open AccessMónika Molnár, José Alemán Bañón et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2021References: 17

    We assessed monolingual Spanish and bilingual Spanish-Basque toddlers’ sensitivity to gender agreement in correct vs. incorrect Spanish noun phrases (definite article + noun), using a spontaneous preference listening paradigm. Monolingual Spanish-learning toddlers exhibited a tendency to listen longer to the grammatically correct phrases (e.g., la casa; “the house”), as opposed to the incorrect ones (e.g., * el casa). This listening preference to…

  • What usage can do: The effect of language dominance on simultaneous bilinguals’ morphosyntactic processing

    Sendy Caffarra, Svetlana Zimnukhova et al.ARTICLELinguistics Vanguard2016

    Even when bilinguals learn both languages from birth and achieve high levels of proficiency, they rarely use their languages to the same degree. Recent findings suggest that individual differences in bilingual profile such as the usage of the bilingual’s different languages could affect the way they retrieve and analyse linguistic information, with greater use of linguistic mechanisms from the dominant language. One of the linguistic areas where …
