Do differences among first languages (L1) affect word recognition in reading a second language (L2)? Participants in this study had either Indonesian (an alphabetic language) or Chinese (a logographic language) as an L1 and were learning English (an alphabetic language) as an L2. Under the connectionist rubric, it was predicted that an alphabetic L1 would facilitate word recognition in an alphabetic L2, especially if the L1 and L2 have similar spelling patterns. Facilitation is relative to a logographic L1. The model also predicted a better recognition for high-frequency words in the L2 relative to low-frequency words. The results of a lexical decision task largely confirmed these hypotheses.
