双语现象的许多研究都在探讨语言之间词汇信息共享的程度。本研究通过测试语言之间是否存在句法启动现象来考察句法信息是否共享。西班牙语-英语双语的参与者在对话游戏中互相描述卡片。我们发现，刚听过西班牙语句子的参与者在用英语描述下一张卡片时倾向于使用相同类型的句子。特别是，英语被动句在西班牙语被动句之后比其他被动句更常见。我们使用的结果，以扩大目前的模型表示的语法信息双语。
Much research in bilingualism has addressed the question of the extent to which lexical information is shared between languages. The present study investigated whether syntactic information is shared by testing if syntactic priming occurs between languages. Spanish-English bilingual participants described cards to each other in a dialogue game. We found that a participant who had just heard a sentence in Spanish tended to use the same type of sentence when describing the next card in English. In particular, English passives were considerably more common following a Spanish passive than otherwise. We use the results to extend current models of the representation of grammatical information to bilinguals.
