Abstract

Previous studies have investigated whether lexical access in sentence reading is language-selective using interlingual homographs, but have yielded inconsistent results. In this study, event-related potentials were measured when Korean-Chinese bilinguals read the Chinese version of false-cognates (e.g., “放学”, after school) in Chinese sentence contexts that biased the meaning towards the Korean version (e.g., “방학”, school vacation). With the match words as the baseline, Chinese monolinguals elicited similar N400 and P600/LPC effects when reading the false-cognates and mismatch words, whereas Korean-Chinese bilinguals produced a smaller N400 effect for false-cognates than for mismatch words, indicating activation of the Korean version. The P600/LPC effect was observed for false-cognates in bilinguals, reflecting increased integration difficulties or enhanced cognitive control. The study supported the nonselective view and proposed a theoretical extension of the BIA+ model, claiming that bilingual interactive activation might be mediated by shared morphemic representations between languages.

用韩语阅读汉语：句子阅读中非选择性词汇获取的ERP证据

以往的研究利用语际同音异义词考察了句子阅读中的词汇获取是否具有语言选择性，但得出的结果并不一致。在本研究中，当韩中双语者在汉语句子语境中阅读汉语版本的假同源词（如“上学后”）时，测量了事件相关电位，这些汉语句子语境使语义偏向于韩语版本（如“校园假期”）。以匹配词为基准，汉语单语者在阅读假同源词和错配词时产生了相似的N400和P600/LPC效应，而汉汉双语者在阅读假同源词时产生的N400效应小于错配词，说明韩语版本激活了。在双语者的假同源词中观察到P600/LPC效应，反映了整合困难增加或认知控制增强。本研究支持了非选择性的观点，并提出了BIA+模型的理论扩展，认为双语互动激活可能是由语言间的共享语素表征介导的。
