双语视觉词汇识别的许多研究表明，词汇通达不是语言选择性的。然而，双语单词识别的听觉模态的研究一直很少，它已经产生了混合的结果，这种语言的非选择性的程度。在本研究中，我们调查了第二语言（L2）的听力是否受到母语（L1）知识的影响，更重要的是，是否听L1也受到L2知识的影响。此外，我们还调查了听者对词汇通达的选择性是否受到说话者的母语（以及口音）的影响。为此，荷兰-英语双语者完成了英语（实验1）和荷兰（实验3）的听觉词汇决策任务。作为对照，英语听觉词汇判断任务也由英语单语者完成（实验2）。目标发音的母语为荷兰语的英语为L2（实验1A，2A和3A）或母语为英语的荷兰语为L2（实验1B，2B和3B）。在所有的实验中，荷兰-英语双语者识别语际同音字（例如，Lief [sweet]-leaf /li：f/）显著慢于匹配的控制词，而英语单语者没有表现出效果。这些结果表明：（a）双语听觉词识别中的词汇通达在第二语言和第一语言中都不是语言选择性的;（B）语言特异性的亚音系线索并不取消跨语言的相互作用。
Many studies in bilingual visual word recognition have demonstrated that lexical access is not language selective. However, research on bilingual word recognition in the auditory modality has been scarce, and it has yielded mixed results with regard to the degree of this language nonselectivity. In the present study, we investigated whether listening to a second language (L2) is influenced by knowledge of the native language (L1) and, more important, whether listening to the L1 is also influenced by knowledge of an L2. Additionally, we investigated whether the listener's selectivity of lexical access is influenced by the speaker's L1 (and thus his or her accent). With this aim, Dutch-English bilinguals completed an English (Experiment 1) and a Dutch (Experiment 3) auditory lexical decision task. As a control, the English auditory lexical decision task was also completed by English monolinguals (Experiment 2). Targets were pronounced by a native Dutch speaker with English as the L2 (Experiments 1A, 2A, and 3A) or by a native English speaker with Dutch as the L2 (Experiments 1B, 2B, and 3B). In all experiments, Dutch-English bilinguals recognized interlingual homophones (e.g., lief [sweet]-leaf /li:f/) significantly slower than matched control words, whereas the English monolinguals showed no effect. These results indicate that (a) lexical access in bilingual auditory word recognition is not language selective in L2, nor in L1, and (b) language-specific subphonological cues do not annul cross-lingual interactions.
