单词从一种语言到另一种语言的转换在世界上的许多语言中都是普遍存在的。虽然外来词在历史语言学、语言接触学和社会语言学领域有着丰富的文献，但很少有人研究双语者在了解源语和接受语的情况下如何处理外来词。本研究采用瞳孔测量法比较了熟练的葡英双语者对已建立的波多黎各西班牙语外来词和西班牙语母语词的在线处理。既定外来词引起的瞳孔反应明显大于西班牙语本源词，瞳孔反应受到外来词本身和西班牙语本源词出现频率的调节。这些发现表明，既定外来词的处理方式与西班牙语母语词不同，并与母语词汇竞争，这可能是由于语言内和语言间的显著性影响。
The transfer of words from one language to another is ubiquitous in many of the world’s languages. While loanwords have a rich literature in the fields of historical linguistics, language contact, and sociolinguistics, little work has been done examining how loanwords are processed by bilinguals with knowledge of both the source and recipient languages. The present study uses pupillometry to compare the online processing of established loanwords in Puerto Rican Spanish to native Spanish words by highly proficient Puerto Rican Spanish-English bilinguals. Established loanwords elicited a significantly larger pupillary response than native Spanish words, with the pupillary response modulated by both the frequency of the loanword itself and of the native Spanish counterpart. These findings suggest that established loanwords are processed differently than native Spanish words and compete with their native equivalents, potentially due to both intra- and inter-lingual effects of saliency.
