However, less is known about how context affects the processing and acquisition of multi-word units, such as non-literal English phrasal verbs (PVs), which are particularly challenging for L2 learners to master. This eye-tracking study investigated how contextual richness influences L2 learners’ processing and acquisition of non-literal English PVs. Fifty-seven Chinese-L1 postgraduate students were randomly assigned to three groups, each reading eight low-frequency PVs in contexts varying in informativeness: more informative , less informative and uninformative. Vocabulary post-tests and delayed post-tests assessed incidental learning gains. Results indicated that more informative contexts enhanced form retention, whereas less informative contexts facilitated meaning recognition. These findings contribute to cognitive theories of word learning and offer practical insights for L2 vocabulary instruction.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"27 1","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifty bilingual undergraduates completed a context-specific proportion congruency (CSPC) Stroop task while electroencephalography was recorded. Greater L2 usage was associated with reduced conflict effects, consistent with more efficient control. The N2 was larger for incongruent than congruent trials and varied by context, with lower L2 proficiency associated with greater context-dependent increases in N2 amplitude, whereas higher proficiency was associated with more stable responses. The conflict slow potential showed that earlier L2 acquisition was associated with greater sustained attentional resource availability across contexts. Together, these findings indicate that processing efficiency is reflected in how control demands are distributed across early and late stages of processing. More broadly, bilingual experiences shape distinct neural control profiles, highlighting the importance of interpreting behavioral and neural measures jointly.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"3 1","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We employed a multi-methodological approach to disentangle implicit and explicit processing. Study 1 (Implicit Association Test) revealed no automatic bias linking culture to emotion, suggesting that long-term L2 immersion may equilibrate implicit associations. Study 2 (explicit ratings), however, found a significant interaction: priming native (Chinese) culture led participants to evaluate negative L2 words as more negative, whereas the L2 (British) cultural context attenuated these evaluations, reinforcing emotional distance. Positive words remained unaffected. These findings demonstrate that culture is an active modulator of bilingual emotion. While acculturation may balance implicit links, conscious activation of native cultural schemas can bridge L2 emotional distance for aversive content, whereas L2 contexts serve to buffer emotional intensity.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"25 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, the influence of multilingualism is less clear for autistic children, who often experience challenges in the development of language abilities. We present data from 345 autistic and non-autistic children (3–12 years) from semantic and phonemic verbal fluency (VF) tasks. Children’s monolingualism or multilingualism was operationalised as the continuous measure of language exposure entropy. Our study is the first to monitor both semantic and phonemic VF in multilingual autistic children. Non-autistic children show clear benefits of multilingualism for VF emerging with increasing age. For autistic children, there are neither negative nor positive effects of multilingualism on VF. Follow-up analyses reveal that this is independent of the strength of social-communicative autism symptoms. Taken together, our findings reveal that multilingualism is not detrimental for the development of lexical abilities of autistic children.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"7 1","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149124462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce the Productive Emotion Vocabulary Test (PEVT), a vignette-based free-recall task eliciting up to three responses. Twenty-two pictorial-text vignettes, redesigned from materials validated with German children, were administered to 107 adults, alongside LexTALE and a language background questionnaire. Eighteen vignettes elicited the target emotion or a close synonym as the dominant response, with substantial naming agreement. In mixed-effects analyses, context length did not affect accuracy, whereas response order, LexTALE and produced-word frequency did: first responses were more likely to be accurate than subsequent responses, and higher LexTALE scores and higher-frequency labels were associated with greater accuracy. Findings provide preliminary validity evidence for the PEVT as a research instrument capturing productive EV breadth and a narrowly operationalised facet of depth: contextual naming alignment.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148985056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A relevant phenomenon in this regard is the Foreign Language Effect (FLE), which suggests that individuals may make more rational decisions when using a second language (L2) compared to their native language (L1). Here, by replicating a previous study, we investigated how different levels of L2 proficiency influence superstitious beliefs among bilingual individuals, beyond the language (L1 or L2) in which they are tested. Our findings showed no significant differences in superstition levels between the L1 and L2 contexts. However, we found that greater L2 proficiency was linked to lower superstition levels in both languages. These results suggest that L2 proficiency, or variables associated with it, plays a key role in shaping rational decision-making and may lead to inaccurate estimates of the FLE if it is not adequately controlled for. This study advances our understanding of the FLE by emphasising the importance of considering L2 proficiency in research on bilingual cognition and judgement.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148984982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
