本研究探讨翻译对等物的跨语言相似性对双语词识别的影响。在执行三个任务中的一个时，荷英双语者处理的同源词在英语和荷兰语的对应词中有不同程度的重叠（例如，lamp-lamp、flood-vloed和song-lied）。在词汇决策方面，从没有任何跨语言正字法重叠的翻译对等词到非常相似但不相同的同源词，反应时间减少了。相同同源词表现出很大的不连续加工优势，并受到语音相似性的促进。在语言决策中，正字法相似性的作用相反：出现同源抑制效应，其大小随着正字法相似性的增加而增加。这里相同的同源词明显比其他同源词慢。在渐进式掩模中，不相同同源词不存在正字法相似效应，但存在语义相似效应。此外，低英语频率的同同源词也有促进作用。任务依赖的结果模式被解释为同源表征的四种说法，并提供证据支持本地联系主义的说法。(C) 2010爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
This study examines how the cross-linguistic similarity of translation equivalents affects bilingual word recognition. Performing one of three tasks, Dutch-English bilinguals processed cognates with varying degrees of form overlap between their English and Dutch counterparts (e.g., lamp-lamp vs. flood-vloed vs. song-lied). In lexical decision, reaction times decreased going from translation equivalents without any cross-linguistic orthographic overlap to very similar but non-identical cognates. Identical cognates showed a large discontinuous processing advantage and were subject to facilitation from phonological similarity. In language decision, the effect of orthographic similarity reversed: a cognate inhibition effect arose, the size of which increased with orthographic similarity. Here identical cognates were markedly slower than other cognates. In progressive demasking, no orthographic similarity effect was found for non-identical cognates, but a semantic similarity effect arose. In addition, there was a facilitation effect for identical cognates of low English frequency. The task-dependent result patterns are interpreted in terms of four accounts of cognate representation and provide evidence in favor of a localist connectionist account. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
