“…The scope of the changes to the native language is broad, with related evidence that has been reported for other grammatical structures (Dussias & Cramer Scaltz, 2008) and for the phonology of the native language (e.g., Chang, 2013). Research on priming also shows that sentence processing is changed by a recent occurrence of a similar syntactic structure, even when the prime and target sentences cross from one of the bilingual’s languages to the other (Bernolet, Hartsuiker, & Pickering, 2007; Kantola & Van Gompel, 2011).…”

A series of discoveries in the last two decades has changed the way we think about bilingualism and its implications for language and cognition. One is that both languages are always active. The parallel activation of the two languages is thought to give rise to competition that imposes demands on the bilingual to control the language not in use to achieve fluency in the target language. The second is that there are consequences of bilingualism that affect the native as well as the second language. The native language changes in response to second language use. The third is that the consequences of bilingualism are not limited to language but appear to reflect a reorganization of brain networks that hold implications for the ways in which bilinguals negotiate cognitive competition more generally. The focus of recent research on bilingualism has been to understand the relation between these discoveries and the implications they hold for language, cognition, and the brain across the lifespan.

“…Interestingly, one study has found not only weaker activation in the classical leftlateralized language areas (e.g., left middle temporal gyrus, left inferior occipital gyrus), but also stronger activation in some non-typical language areas (e.g., posterior cingulate cortex, right superior temporal gyrus) for Spanish-Catalan early bilinguals as compared to Spanish monolinguals during Spanish (L1) picture naming (Palomar-García et al, 2015), suggesting early bilinguals utilize a more distributed and less efficient network for L1 processing than monolinguals. Recent ERP studies have also suggested native language changes during L2 acquisition (Chang, 2013), even during early stages of L2 learning (Bice & Kroll, 2015). Taken together, a handful of studies have shown brain changes in several regions during L1 processing after L2 is acquired.…”

“…Convergence enhances already existing similarities between those languages (Ameel et al, 2009; Alferink and Gullberg, 2013). This increased similarity manifests itself at different language levels including phonology and phonetics (Bullock, 2004; Chang, 2013) and morphology and syntax (Kantola and van Gompel, 2011; Sanchez, 2012; Bernolet et al, 2013). …”

Convergence in the Bilingual Lexicon: A Pre-registered Replication of Previous Studies

Naming patterns of bilinguals have been found to converge and form a new intermediate language system from elements of both the bilinguals’ languages. This converged naming pattern differs from the monolingual naming patterns of both a bilingual’s languages. We conducted a pre-registered replication study of experiments addressing the question whether there is a convergence between a bilingual’s both lexicons. The replication used an enlarged set of stimuli of common household containers, providing generalizability, and more reliable representations of the semantic domain. Both an analysis at the group-level and at the individual level of the correlations between naming patterns reject the two-pattern hypothesis that poses that bilinguals use two monolingual-like naming patterns, one for each of their two languages. However, the results of the original study and the replication comply with the one-pattern hypothesis, which poses that bilinguals converge the naming patterns of their two languages and form a compromise. Since this convergence is only partial the naming pattern in bilinguals corresponds to a moderate version of the one-pattern hypothesis. These findings are further confirmed by a representation of the semantic domain in a multidimensional space and the finding of shorter distances between bilingual category centers than monolingual category centers in this multidimensional space both in the original and in the replication study.
