How L1 loanwords can create a false sense of familiarity with L2 vocabulary meaning and usage

Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2013
Almost 50% of high-frequency English (L2) words have Japanese cognates in the form of loanwords, and depending on cognate type these are generally considered to be an excellent way to promote vocabulary retention.

Cross-language distributions of high frequency and phonetically similar cognates. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The coinciding form and meaning similarity of cognates, e.g. 'flamme' (French), 'Flamme' (German), 'vlam' (Dutch), meaning 'flame' in English, facilitates learning of additional languages.

Bilingual word recognition in a sentence context [PDF]

, 2012
This article provides an overview of bilingualism research on visual word recognition in isolation and in sentence context. Many studies investigating the processing of words out-of-context have shown that lexical representations from both languages are ...

Mixing the stimulus list in bilingual lexical decision turns cognate facilitation effects into mirrored inhibition effects

, 2020
To test the BIA+ and Multilink models’ accounts of how bilinguals process words with different degrees of cross-linguistic orthographic and semantic overlap, we conducted two experiments manipulating stimulus list composition.

Can monolinguals be like bilinguals? Evidence from dialect switching [PDF]

, 2018
Bilinguals rely on cognitive control mechanisms like selective activation and inhibition of lexical entries to prevent intrusions from the non-target language.

Automatic Identification and Production of Related Words for Historical Linguistics

Computational Linguistics, 2020
Language change across space and time is one of the main concerns in historical linguistics. In this article, we develop tools to assist researchers and domain experts in the study of language evolution.

Word reading and translation in bilinguals: the impact of formal and informal translation expertise [PDF]

, 2014
Studies on bilingual word reading and translation have examined the effects of lexical variables (e.g., concreteness, cognate status) by comparing groups of non-translators with varying levels of L2 proficiency. However, little attention has been paid to

Cross-linguistic activation in bilingual sentence processing: the role of word class meaning [PDF]

, 2010
This study investigates how categorial (word class) semantics influences cross-linguistic interactions when reading in L2. Previous homograph studies paid little attention to the possible influence of different word classes in the stimulus material on ...

Cross-language activation of morphological relatives in cognates: The role of orthographic overlap and task-related processing

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
We considered the role of orthography and task-related processing mechanisms in the activation of morphologically related complex words during bilingual word processing.
