During spoken word-recognition, bilinguals have been shown to access their two languages
simultaneously. The present study examined effects of language proficiency and lexical …

Previous psycholinguistic studies have shown that bilinguals activate lexical items of both
the languages during auditory and visual word processing. In this study we examined if …

The traditional language switch hypothesis, according to which bilinguals can selectively
activate and deactivate either language, has been repeatedly challenged in recent studies …

We used picture–word interference (PWI) to discover a) whether cross-language activation
at the lexical level can yield phonological priming effects when languages do not share …

In this study we address the question of how lexical selection is achieved by bilingual
speakers during speech production. Specifically, we test whether there is competition …

An influential claim in recent work on bilingualism is that bilinguals reading words entirely in
their non-native language (L2) activate their native language (L1) translations (Thierry & Wu …

Bilingualism provides a unique opportunity for exploring hypotheses about how the human
brain encodes language. For example, the “input switch” theory states that bilinguals can …

Past research on bilingual production has been performed almost exclusively with bilinguals
whose two languages share the same Roman alphabets. However, little research has …

We exploit the phenomenon of cross-modal, cross-language activation to examine the
dynamics of language processing. Previous within-language work showed that seeing a …

The present study examined effects of cross-linguistic overlap and language proficiency on
bilingual parallel language activation. Recognition of cognates (eg, English hen, German …
