Abstract

Twenty-five L1 Nepali speaking participants living in Trondheim, Norway who spoke English as L2 and Norwegian as L3 (late adult learners) participated in this study. Participants’ L2 proficiency was established as advanced in LexTALE. We administered language comprehension and production tasks in a trilingual design. In a mouse tracking trilingual parallel activation experiment, participants performed a language comprehension task in which they listened to the spoken word in their L1, L2 and L3 and clicked on the matching target picture. Mouse trajectories of their response pattern were recorded and analyzed. The language production task included a phonological and a semantic verbal fluency task (VFT), which also served as an executive control task. VFT showed their dominance in L1 and L2 compared to L3. This study contributes novel knowledge on trilingual parallel activation and suggests that in the presence of a non-dominant L3, a dominant L1 and a dominant L2 are processed faster than the non-dominant language in phonologically competing conditions.

三语并行处理:优势语言会吸引所有注意力吗?
25名居住在挪威特隆赫姆(Trondheim)、以英语为第二语言、以挪威语为第三语言的尼泊尔语第一语言学习者(晚期成人学习者)参加了本研究。参加者的第二语言水平在LexTALE中被确定为高级水平。我们在三语设计中进行了语言理解和生产任务。在鼠标跟踪三语并行激活实验中,受试者进行了一项语言理解任务,即听一语、二语和三语的口语单词,并点击匹配的目标图片。他们的反应模式的鼠标轨迹被记录下来并进行分析。语言生产任务包括语音和语义语言流畅性任务(VFT),这也是一项执行控制任务。VFT显示,与L3相比,他们在L1和L2中占优势。这项研究为三语平行激活提供了新的知识,并表明在非优势 L3 存在的情况下,优势 L1 和优势 L2 在语音竞争条件下的处理速度要快于非优势语言。
