Second language activation in native language word recognition among Chinese Japanese learners
Using both behavioral experimental methods and event-related potentials technology,this study delves into the activation status from the mother language to the second language during word recognition.Two groups of Chinese Japanese learners participated in two experiments,an orthographic judgment task and a semantic relatedness judgment task of words.Statistical results showed that both groups exhibited significant electroencephalographic effects when presented with priming words that were Chinese-Japanese homographs.Notably,the second language semantics of the Chinese-Japanese homographs were only activated in the semantic relatedness judgment task.This finding highlights the task-dependency of cross-linguistic activation.By comparing the activation results under different experimental conditions,this study not only explains the controversy between language selectivity and non-selectivity but also confirms the mutual activation phenomenon between words of different languages,which is of great significance for unveiling the patterns of bilingualism.
