Abstract

During speech production, bilinguals need to encode target words phonologically before articulation, and the encoding units differ across languages. It remains an open question whether bilinguals employ the encoding unit in their L1 or L2 for phonological encoding. The present study examined the primary unit of phonological encoding in L2 speech production by Mandarin Chinese-English bilinguals with high and low L2 proficiency using the picture-word interference paradigm. Results revealed segmental priming effects with one or two segments and syllabic overlap at varied stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs), for both groups in their L2 speech production. Additionally, the results demonstrated increasing effects with more overlapping segments for both groups, and the facilitation effects decreased as SOA increased. These results indicate that bilinguals encode English words with the segment as a primary planning unit regardless of their L2 proficiency. The time course of segmental encoding in L2 production is also discussed.
熟练程度对第二语言语音制作中语音编码的影响
在言语产生过程中,双语者需要在发音前对目标词进行语音编码,而不同语言的编码单位不同。双语者是否使用母语或第二语言的编码单元进行语音编码仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。本研究采用图-词干扰范式研究了高、低二语熟练程度的汉语-英语双语者二语言语产生的语音编码的主要单位。结果表明,在不同的刺激启动异步(SOAs)条件下,两组学生在二语言语生成过程中均存在一个或两个片段和音节重叠的片段启动效应。此外,结果表明,随着两个组的重叠部分越来越多,促进效应会增加,而SOA的增加则会减少。这些结果表明,无论二语熟练程度如何,双语者都以语段作为主要规划单元对英语单词进行编码。讨论了L2生成中分段编码的时间过程。
