A new look at “the hard problem” of bilingual lexical access: evidence for language-switch costs with univalent stimuli
Considerable work has used language-switching tasks to investigate how bilinguals
manage competition between languages. Language-switching costs have been argued to …

Lexical selection in bilingual speech production does not involve language suppression.
The “hard problem” in bilingual lexical access arises when translation-equivalent lexical
representations are activated to roughly equal levels and, thus, compete equally for lexical …

Language switching and language competition
This study examined the asymmetrical language switching cost in a word reading task
(Experiment 1) and in a categorization task (Experiment 2 and 3). In Experiment 1, Spanish …

When language switching has no apparent cost: Lexical access in sentence context
We report two experiments that investigate the effects of sentence context on bilingual
lexical access in Spanish and English. Highly proficient Spanish-English bilinguals read …

Which words are activated during bilingual word production?
À Colomé, M Miozzo - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2010 - psycnet.apa.org
Whether words are or are not activated within the lexicon of the nonused language is an
important question for accounts of bilingual word production. Prior studies have not led to …

How do highly proficient bilinguals control their lexicalization process? Inhibitory and language-specific selection mechanisms are both functional.
The authors report 4 experiments exploring the language-switching performance of highly
proficient bilinguals in a picture-naming task. In Experiment 1, they tested the impact of …

Activation of Russian and English cohorts during bilingual spoken word recognition
The traditional language switch hypothesis, according to which bilinguals can selectively
activate and deactivate either language, has been repeatedly challenged in recent studies …
