双语词汇通达中的“难题”出现时，解释等价的词汇表征被激活到大致相等的水平，因此，平等地竞争词汇选择。语言抑制假说（D。W.绿色，1998年）解决了这个难题，通过抑制非目标语言的词汇表征。从这个建议是预测，词汇选择应该花更长的时间在语言转换试验，因为要选择的代表刚刚被抑制在前一个试验。与这一预测不一致的是，与非转换试验相比，参与者在语言转换试验中不再用他们的主导语言命名图片。这些发现表明，非目标词汇表征没有被抑制。作者认为，这些结果破坏了语言抑制假说的可行性，作为一个可能的解决方案，在双语词汇访问的困难问题。
The "hard problem" in bilingual lexical access arises when translation-equivalent lexical representations are activated to roughly equal levels and, thus, compete equally for lexical selection. The language suppression hypothesis (D. W. Green, 1998) solves this hard problem through the suppression of lexical representations in the nontarget language. Following from this proposal is the prediction that lexical selection should take longer on a language switch trial because the to-be-selected representation was just suppressed on the previous trial. Inconsistent with this prediction, participants took no longer to name pictures in their dominant language on language switch trials than they did on nonswitch trials. These findings indicate that nontarget lexical representations are not suppressed. The authors suggest that these results undermine the viability of the language suppression hypothesis as a possible solution to the hard problem in bilingual lexical access.
