本研究通过比较相同和不同文字双语者的表现，探讨了文字在双语演讲规划中的作用。西班牙语-英语双语者（实验1）和日语-英语双语者（实验2）执行了一项图词干扰任务，要求他们用第二语言英语命名一个物体的图片，同时忽略第一语言西班牙语或日语中的视觉干扰词。结果重复了之前针对相同文字、西班牙语-英语双语者的双语图词干扰研究中看到的一般模式，但没有针对不同文字、日语-英语双语者的研究结果。两组都表现出翻译促进作用，而只有西班牙语-英语双语者表现出语义干扰、语音促进作用和语音翻译促进作用。这些结果表明，当任务中存在未使用的语言的脚本时，双语者似乎会利用感知差异作为语言线索，在言语计划过程的早期直接对目标语言进行词汇访问。
The present study examined the role of script in bilingual speech planning by comparing the performance of same and different-script bilinguals. Spanish-English bilinguals (Experiment 1) and Japanese-English bilinguals (Experiment 2) performed a picture-word interference task in which they were asked to name a picture of an object in English, their second language, while ignoring a visual distractor word in Spanish or Japanese, their first language. Results replicated the general pattern seen in previous bilingual picture-word interference studies for the same-script, Spanish-English bilinguals but not for the different-script, Japanese-English bilinguals. Both groups showed translation facilitation, whereas only Spanish-English bilinguals demonstrated semantic interference, phonological facilitation, and phono-translation facilitation. These results suggest that when the script of the language not in use is present in the task, bilinguals appear to exploit the perceptual difference as a language cue to direct lexical access to the intended language earlier in the process of speech planning.
