Abstract

Prior research has shown that a sentence context can decrease the necessity for language control relative to single word processing. In particular, measures of language control such as language switch costs are reduced or even absent in a sentence context. Yet, this evidence is mainly based on bilingual language production and is far from straightforward. To further investigate this issue in the comprehension modality, we relied on the lexical flanker task, which is known to introduce sentence-like processing. More specifically, Dutch-English bilinguals (n = 68) performed a classification task in mixed language blocks on target words that were either presented alone or flanked by unrelated words in the same language. While overall no L1 switch costs were observed, we only observed L2 switch costs in the no-flanker condition. This pattern of results indicates that the presence of flankers can reduce or even abolish switch costs, suggesting that the language control process can benefit from sentence(-like) processing compared to single word processing.

变相的祝福:侧翼词能降低语言转换成本
先前的研究表明,与单词处理相比,句子语境可以降低语言控制的必要性。特别是,在句子语境中,语言转换成本等语言控制措施会减少甚至消失。然而,这些证据主要是基于二语语言生产的,远非直截了当。为了进一步研究理解模式中的这一问题,我们采用了词汇侧翼任务,众所周知,该任务会引入类似句子的处理过程。更具体地说,荷兰语-英语双语者(n = 68)在混合语言区块中对目标词进行了分类任务,这些目标词要么单独出现,要么被同一种语言中不相关的词包抄。虽然总体上没有观察到 L1 切换成本,但我们只在无侧翼条件下观察到 L2 切换成本。这种结果模式表明,侧翼词的存在可以降低甚至消除转换成本,这表明与单词处理相比,语言控制过程可以从句子(类似)处理中获益。
