Abstract
This study explores whether novice bilinguals store newly-learned pseudo-L2 words together with or separately from
the L1, by testing whether pseudo-L2 words compete with their formally-similar L1 words. Although we attempted to obtain a prime
lexicality effect (PLE), with newly-trained pseudo-L2 words as primes and their formally-similar words in L1 as targets
(stafe-STARE) showing an inhibitory effect, and untrained nonword primes with these targets
(stace-STARE) showing a facilitatory effect, no such PLE was obtained. This was the case despite the fact
that these newly-learned pseudo-L2 words yielded repetition priming (stafe-STAFE), suggesting that some form of
representations were developed for these words. These results are discussed in terms of how to test newly-learned pseudo-L2 words,
and whether competition can be exploited to test lexical integration.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
