Meta-analyses have shown that the FLe has a small-to-moderate effect size, suggesting that individual characteristics may constrain its impact. We hypothesized that traits promoting strong deontological tendencies would moderate this effect. Our results showed that lower conscientiousness and higher emotional stability were associated with more resilient deontological responses, showing reduced susceptibility to the FLe. However, deontological choices associated with lower extraversion were overridden in a foreign language. These findings offer the first empirical evidence that broad personality traits can modulate the FLe. Moreover, our results – statistically significant but modest in magnitude – highlight key methodological considerations, including dilemma types, trait measures, and sample characteristics. Finally, they also underscore the importance of examining more fine-grained personality constructs to better understand individual variability in the extent to which foreign language use shapes moral judgment.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"143 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147625618","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}

This study employed the visual world paradigm to investigate whether interpreters can predict upcoming content while simultaneously interpreting multi-sentence paragraphs and to examine the mechanisms underlying prediction. Interpreting students and professionals simultaneously interpreted four paragraphs embedded with sentences containing a critical verb that manipulates the predictability of the target noun, while viewing visual displays containing a target object, two semantic competitor objects and one distractor object. Both groups made predictive eye movements to the target objects before hearing the corresponding word, indicating interpreters’ ability to predict in a challenging task. The observed fixation patterns further suggest the involvement of both prediction-by-production and prediction-by-association during SI. Crucially, professionals showed more flexible attention shifts and efficient cue use, whereas students shifted attention less and used a more cautious prediction strategy.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147625542","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}

Twenty intermediate-level Japanese speakers of L2 English carried out eight monologic, oral decision-making tasks, four in English and four in Japanese. While completing the tasks, their brain activity was recorded through fMRI scanning. Participants’ speech was transcribed, and the resulting transcripts were annotated for mid- and end-clause silent pauses. Then, for the pauses identified, we conducted whole-brain analyses to identify relevant activation patterns, followed by region-of-interest analyses in language-related areas. We found that mid-clause pauses were linked to increased activation in language-related brain regions, with stronger effects for L2 speech. We also observed heightened activity in conceptualisation-related brain areas at end-clause positions in both L1 and L2 speech. In L2 English, participants also displayed greater activation in a concept-retrieval-related brain region in end-clause than in mid-clause position.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147536219","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}

Two complementary analyses were conducted: a large-scale model ( n = 300,656) examining the relationship between time spent in FL learning and maths performance across 73 countries and a machine learning (ML) approach (random forest (RF); n = 53,459) identifying specific programme features that most strongly influence this relationship. Results show that longer exposure to FL instruction was associated with a modest but statistically robust increase in maths scores ( β = 0.08, p < .001), even after controlling for socioeconomic and contextual factors. Among programme characteristics, the integration of multicultural curricula emerged as a prominent predictor of higher maths performance. These findings indicate that sustained, culturally enriched FL learning is positively associated with numeracy outcomes, with implications for equity in academic achievement and cross-disciplinary performance.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"191 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147519277","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}

Using an overt priming paradigm (SOA = 300 ms), ERP responses were compared across morphological (e.g., farmer – farm ), orthographic (e.g., cashew – cash ) and semantic (e.g., doctor – nurse ) priming conditions in native and L2 speakers. Results revealed that both language groups exhibited distinct priming effects for morphologically related prime–target pairs across the early and late N400 windows, reflecting morpho-orthographic segmentation and morpho-semantic integration, respectively, rather than additive effects of form and meaning overlap. However, the late negativity effect, reflecting intensified lateral inhibition among similar orthographic representations, was observed during orthographic priming only in native speakers, suggesting less efficient inhibitory control in L2 processing. These findings are discussed within the framework of the Shallow Structure Hypothesis, which has provided a theoretical basis for many previous L2 studies of derived-word processing.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147519288","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}

To study first-language figurative idiom meaning activation in second-language reading, we created and tested a novel contextual idiom-priming paradigm and conducted an eye-tracking experiment with Chinese–English immersion and non-immersion bilinguals, and English-speaking controls. Three counterbalanced conditions were created: in English texts, the meaning probe was preceded by a close or paraphrased translation of a related Chinese-only idiom, or an unrelated phrase. The processing of the probe was influenced by figurative meanings of Chinese-only idioms for both groups of bilinguals, but not for monolingual controls, evidencing non-selective language processing beyond single words. There was no difference in the patterns of activation between close and paraphrased translations, suggesting that exact lexical overlap may not be necessary for cross-language activation of idioms. Different processing patterns were observed for immersion and non-immersion bilinguals.","PeriodicalId":8758,"journal":{"name":"Bilingualism: Language and Cognition","volume":"50 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147351290","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}
