  • Title: Is bilingual lexical access influenced by language context?
    Author: Paulmann S, Elston-Güttler KE, Gunter TC, Kotz SA.
    Journal: Neuroreport; 2006 May 15; 17(7):727-31. PubMed ID: 16641677.
    Abstract:
    Using primed lexical decision, we measured reaction times and event-related brain potentials to targets that had German meanings (boss) of German-English interlingual homograph primes (chef). In an all-English experiment, we tested the effects of (1) global language context created by a first- or second-language film before the experiment, and (2) context over time, by analyzing the first and second experimental halves. We report significant reaction time and event-related potential priming of first-language meanings in the second-language experiment. The effects obtained despite block and context manipulations support and extend the nonselective access theory of bilingual word recognition.
