本研究调查了语音起始时间 (VOT)，以确定同源词是否增强了一系列西班牙语-英语双语者的语音产生中的跨语言语音影响：西班牙语传统使用者、英语传统使用者、高级西班牙语学习者和高级英语学习者。为了回答这个问题，我们检查了具有相当多语音、语义和拼写重叠的词汇项目（同源词）以及与其英语翻译对等物没有语音重叠的词汇项目（非同源词）。结果表明，同源地位对西英双语者的西班牙语 VOT 产生有显着影响。与非同源词相比，这些双语者在西班牙语中产生的同源词中 /t/ 具有更长的 VOT 值（更像英语）。有人提出，词汇表征的范例模型（Bybee，2001；Pierrehumbert，2001）可以扩展到包括双语词汇连接，通过这些连接，同源词可以促进双语心理词典中的语音干扰。
The present study investigates voice onset times (VOTs) to determine if cognates enhance the cross-language phonetic influences in the speech production of a range of Spanish-English bilinguals: Spanish heritage speakers, English heritage speakers, advanced L2 Spanish learners, and advanced L2 English learners. To answer this question, lexical items with considerable phonological, semantic, and orthographic overlap (cognates) and lexical items with no phonological overlap with their English translation equivalents (non-cognates) were examined. The results indicate that there is a significant effect of cognate status in the Spanish production of VOT by Spanish-English bilinguals. These bilinguals produced /t/ with longer VOT values (more English-like) in the Spanish production of cognates compared to non-cognate words. It is proposed that the exemplar model of lexical representation (Bybee, 2001; Pierrehumbert, 2001) can be extended to include bilingual lexical connections by which cognates facilitate phonetic interference in the bilingual mental lexicon.
