It is widely known that language influences the way speech sounds are categorized. However, categorization of speech sounds by bilinguals is not well understood. There is evidence that bilinguals have different category boundaries than monolinguals, and there is evidence suggesting that bilinguals' phonemic boundaries can shift with language context. This phenomenon has been referred as the double phonemic boundary. In this investigation, the double phonemic boundary is tested in Spanish-English bilinguals (N = 18) and English monolinguals (N = 16). Participants were asked to categorize speech stimuli from a continuum ranging from /ga/ to /ka/ in two language contexts. The results showed phonemic boundary shifts in bilinguals and monolinguals which did not differ across language contexts. However, the magnitude of the phoneme boundary shift was significantly correlated with the level of confidence in using English and Spanish (reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension) for bilinguals, but not for monolinguals. The challenges of testing the double phonemic boundary are discussed, along with the limitations of the methodology used in this study.
