双语者经常在他们的语言之间转换，在交流环境中改变语言。为了测试语言使用中这种变化的后果，48名阿拉伯-希伯来双语者在短暂的曝光操作之前和之后用阿拉伯语（L1）命名图片，包括大声阅读希伯来语（L2）单词列表或执行非语言任务。暴露后的项目中有一半是新的，一半是在L2暴露任务期间呈现的单词的翻译等价物。此外，一半的项目是非常低频的L1单词，通常被借来的L2单词所取代。结果表明，跨词类型双语者不太准确，并产生更多的L2跨语言错误，在他们的主导L1以下短暂的L2曝光。翻译等价物和新项目的错误率相当，但在翻译等价物暴露后观察到更多的跨语言错误。这些研究结果表明，全球全语言控制机制和基于项目的竞争过程的参与，并强调了语言环境的重要性和双语性能的动态性。
Bilinguals routinely shift between their languages, changing languages between communicative settings. To test the consequences of such changes in language use, 48 Arabic-Hebrew bilinguals named pictures in Arabic (L1) before and after a brief exposure manipulation, including either reading a list of Hebrew (L2) words aloud or performing a nonlinguistic task. Half of the items post-exposure were new and half were translation equivalents of the words presented during the L2 exposure task. Further, half of the items were very low-frequency L1 words, typically replaced by borrowed L2 words. Results show that across word types bilinguals were less accurate and produced more L2 cross-language errors in their dominant L1 following brief L2 exposure. Error rates were comparable for translation equivalents and new items, but more cross-language errors were observed post-exposure on translation equivalents. These findings demonstrate the engagement of both global whole-language control mechanisms and item-based competitive processes, and highlight the importance of language context and the dynamic nature of bilingual performance.
