Abstract

Chinese-English bilinguals read paragraphs with language switches using a rapid serial visual presentation paradigm silently while ERPs were measured (Experiment 1) or read them aloud (Experiment 2). Each paragraph was written in either Chinese or English with several function or content words switched to the other language. In Experiment 1, language switches elicited an early, long-lasting positivity when switching from the dominant language to the nondominant language, but when switching to the dominant language, the positivity started later, and was never larger than when switching to the nondominant language. In addition, switch effects on function words were not significantly larger than those on content words in any analyses. In Experiment 2, participants produced more cross-language intrusion errors when switching to the dominant than to the nondominant language, and more errors on function than content words. These results implicate different control mechanisms in bilingual language selection across comprehension and production.

理解和制作中的不同语言控制机制：段落阅读的证据

中英双语者在测量ERPs的同时默读（实验1）或大声朗读（实验2）带有语言转换的段落，实验采用的是快速序列视觉呈现范式。每个段落都用中文或英文书写，并将几个功能词或内容词切换为另一种语言。在实验 1 中，当从主导语言切换到非主导语言时，语言切换会引起早期的、持久的阳性反应，但当切换到主导语言时，阳性反应开始得较晚，而且从来没有比切换到非主导语言时的阳性反应大。此外，在任何分析中，功能词的转换效应都没有明显大于内容词的转换效应。在实验 2 中，被试在切换到优势语言时比切换到非优势语言时产生了更多的跨语言侵入错误，在功能词上的错误也比在内容词上的错误多。这些结果表明，在二语语言选择中，理解和生产过程中存在不同的控制机制。

期刊介绍： An interdisciplinary journal, Brain and Language publishes articles that elucidate the complex relationships among language, brain, and behavior. The journal covers the large variety of modern techniques in cognitive neuroscience, including functional and structural brain imaging, electrophysiology, cellular and molecular neurobiology, genetics, lesion-based approaches, and computational modeling. All articles must relate to human language and be relevant to the understanding of its neurobiological and neurocognitive bases. Published articles in the journal are expected to have significant theoretical novelty and/or practical implications, and use perspectives and methods from psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience along with brain data and brain measures.
