Abstract

Abstract: Picture naming task and TOT(tip of tongue)task were conducted to examine the effect of diglossia and trilingual on lexical access. The result showed that(1)Cantonese-Mandarin diglossia speakers and Cantonese-Mandarin-English trilinguals outperformed monolinguals in picture naming task and TOT task.(2)Cantonese-Mandarin diglossia speakers and Cantonese-Mandarin-English trilinguals performed equivalently in picture naming TOT task. The result suggests the effect of diglossia on lexical access, and the effect of bilingualism on lexical access depends on using frequency.

Key words: diglossia, trilingual, lexical access

摘要： 使用图片命名任务和TOT（舌尖现象）任务考察方言和外语学习对词汇通达能力的影响。实验结果发现,在图片命名任务和TOT任务中,单语者的表现均好于粤语-普通话双言者和粤语-普通话-英语三语者,粤语-普通话双言者和粤语-普通话-英语三语者的表现没有显著差异。该结果说明,与外语学习一样,方言也会影响个体的词汇通达能力,但方言和外语学习对词汇通达能力的影响依赖于他们的使用频率。
