Many fluent bilinguals read their 2 languages with equal levels of comprehension but read their 2nd language at a slower rate. Compared with 1st-language reading, slower 2nd-language reading is associated with reduced involvement of automatic processing during lexical access. Subjects were bilinguals with fluent speaking and listening skills under ordinary conditions of communication and with equivalent comprehension of their 1st and 2nd languages when reading and listening under speeded conditions. Half these subjects, however, read their 1st and 2nd languages equally fast, and half read the 2nd language more slowly than the 1st. Subjects were tested on a lexical decision task that manipulated expectations about the semantic relatedness of prime and target words and the stimulus onset asynchrony between them. Bilinguals with equal 1st- and 2nd-language reading rates produced in each language a pattern of reaction times suggesting automatic processing, whereas bilinguals with a slower 2nd-language reading rate did so in their 1st language but not in their 2nd.
