单词首字母/S/-辅音丛集在西班牙语中不出现。面对这样的序列(例如，在外来词中)，说西班牙语的人往往会感觉到一个虚幻的首字母/e/，从而修复了“非法序列”。在两个实验中，我们都是用西班牙语进行的，发音与西班牙语发音无关的非单词，我们询问英语知识是否会削弱流利的西班牙语-英语双语者的这种感知修复模式，以及英语的影响是否取决于语言优势。在识别和辨别任务中，双语者的知觉修复效应均弱于西班牙语单语者。即使是在西班牙语中占主导地位的双语者也是如此，尽管这种减弱在以英语为主的双语者中更为明显。这些结果表明，相互冲突的音位系统可以共同影响双语者在限制性较强的语言中对声音信号的知觉修复，即使该语言是双语者的主导语言，这表明两种语言之间存在一定程度的知识整合和相互影响。
Word-initial /s/-consonant clusters do not occur in Spanish. Confronted with such sequences (e.g., in loanwords), Spanish speakers tend to perceive an illusory initial /e/, repairing' the illicit sequence. In two experiments, both conducted in Spanish with Spanish-sounding nonwords, we ask whether knowledge of English, which has no restriction against this sound sequence, weakens this pattern of perceptual repair in fluent Spanish-English bilinguals, and whether the effects of English depend on language dominance. In both identification and discrimination tasks, bilinguals exhibited weaker perceptual repair effects relative to Spanish monolinguals. This was true even for bilinguals dominant in Spanish, though the weakening was more pronounced for English-dominant bilinguals. These results show that conflicting phonotactic systems can jointly influence bilinguals' perceptual repair of the acoustic signal in the more restrictive language, even when it is the bilingual's dominant language, suggesting a degree of integration and mutual influence of knowledge between both their languages.
