Abstract

Abstract: This study adopted a modified picture-naming priming paradigm to systematically investigate the extent of phonological activation of non-target language. Experiment 1 was designed to examine the extent of English words' phonological activation when participants named pictures in Chinese. The results showed that responses in phonologically identical conditions were faster than those in related and unrelated conditions. And phonologically related responses were faster than unrelated responses. These findings suggest that both phonologically identical and related words of L2 are activated during the L1 production. Experiment 2 explored the extent of Chinese words' phonological activation when participants named pictures in English. Results showed that responses in phonologically identical conditions were faster than those in related and unrelated conditions while there was no significant difference between phonologically related and unrelated conditions, showing that only phonologically identical words of L1 were activated during the L2 production. Overall, these findings demonstrate that the phonological information of non-target language can be activated during target language production, and the activation extent may be affected by the proficiency of the non-target language.

Key words: bilingual language production, non-target language, phonological activation, proficiency

摘要： 采用改造的图片命名启动范式考察非平衡中-英双语者在言语产生中非目标语言的语音激活范围。实验1探讨在准备用汉语命名图片后，英语词汇的语音激活。结果发现，英语语音一致词的命名反应快于语音相关词和语音无关词，且语音相关词的命名反应快于语音无关词，说明在一语的产生过程中，二语对等词和相关词的语音都得到了激活。实验2探讨在准备用英语命名图片后，汉语词汇的语音激活。结果发现，汉语语音一致词的命名反应快于语音相关词和语音无关词，而语音相关词与语音无关词之间的命名反应没有显著差异，说明在二语的产生过程中，只有一语对等词的语音得到了激活。总结果表明，非平衡中-英双语者使用目标语言时，非目标语言的语音也可以得到激活，并且激活范围可能受非目标语言熟练水平的影响。
