Most models of lexical access assume that bilingual speakers activate their two languages
even when they are in a context in which only one language is used. A critical piece of …

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 …

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 …

In this article we discuss different views about how information flows through the lexical
system in bilingual speech production. In the first part, we focus on some of the experimental …

Abstract In their paper “Do Bilinguals Automatically Activate Their Native Language When
They Are Not Using it?”, Costa, Pannunzi, Deco, and Pickering (Cognitive Science, 2017) …

Models of bilingual speech production generally assume that translation equivalent lexical
nodes share a common semantic representation. Though this type of architecture is highly …

The present study investigated the cognitive nature of second language (L2) lexical
processing in sentence context. We examined bilinguals' L2 word recognition performance …

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 …

How are the two languages of a bilingual represented in the cognitive network? Rather than
simply speak of the underlying representation for a given word, theorists who do research …

Spanish—English bilinguals were tested in two lexical decision, word recognition
experiments. In one experiment, practice on words from one language speeded later …
