本研究探讨同源的影响，在语音生产和加工的加泰罗尼亚语背中元音对比（/o/-//）的早期和高度熟练的西班牙语加泰罗尼亚双语在马略卡岛（西班牙）。参与者完成了一个图片命名任务和一个强迫选择词汇决策任务，在这个任务中，他们被提供了两个单词（例如，/B bosk/“forest”）或基于真实的单词的非单词，但在重音位置具有交替的中间元音对（*/bosk/）。在产生实验和词汇判断实验中使用了相同的同源词和非同源词。结果表明，即使这些早期的双语者保持在他们的生产中的中间元音的对比，他们有很大的困难，确定非字和真实的字的基础上的身份加泰罗尼亚中间元音。分析显示语言优势和同源效应：西班牙语占主导地位的表现出较高的错误率比加泰罗尼亚语占主导地位，和生产和词汇决策的准确性也受到同源状态。本研究有助于早期双语者的主导和非主导的声音系统的组织的讨论，并提出，范例理论的方法可以扩展到包括双语词汇连接，占语音和词汇水平的早期双语个体之间的相互作用。
The present study examines cognate effects in the phonetic production and processing of the Catalan back mid-vowel contrast (/o/-/ɔ/) by 24 early and highly proficient Spanish-Catalan bilinguals in Majorca (Spain). Participants completed a picture-naming task and a forced-choice lexical decision task in which they were presented with either words (e.g., /bɔsk/ “forest”) or non-words based on real words, but with the alternate mid-vowel pair in stressed position (*/bosk/). The same cognate and non-cognate lexical items were included in the production and lexical decision experiments. The results indicate that even though these early bilinguals maintained the back mid-vowel contrast in their productions, they had great difficulties identifying non-words and real words based on the identity of the Catalan mid-vowel. The analyses revealed language dominance and cognate effects: Spanish-dominants exhibited higher error rates than Catalan-dominants, and production and lexical decision accuracy were also affected by cognate status. The present study contributes to the discussion of the organization of early bilinguals' dominant and non-dominant sound systems, and proposes that exemplar theoretic approaches can be extended to include bilingual lexical connections that account for the interactions between the phonetic and lexical levels of early bilingual individuals.
