“…Furthermore, it is also possible that, although bimodal bilinguals recruit nonlinguistic inhibitory control mechanisms during language processing, they may not do so to the same extent as unimodal bilinguals. For example, code-blending (in contrast to code-switching) does not require inhibition of the non-target language and often occurs when speaking with non-signers (Casey & Emmorey, 2009). Therefore the cognitive control abilities of bimodal bilinguals might not be as practiced as those of unimodal bilinguals.…”

“…Indeed, hearing bimodal bilinguals frequently code-blend in conversations with other bimodal bilinguals (Emmorey, Borinstein, Thompson, & Gollan, 2008), and sometimes even in conversations with non-signers (Casey & Emmorey, 2009). Interestingly, bimodal bilinguals prefer code-blending to code-switching, that is, switching between speaking and signing that would likely require inhibition of the non-target language (Emmorey, Borinstein, et al, 2008).…”

Findings from recent studies suggest that spoken-language bilinguals engage nonlinguistic inhibitory control mechanisms to resolve cross-linguistic competition during auditory word recognition. Bilingual advantages in inhibitory control might stem from the need to resolve perceptual competition between similar-sounding words both within and between their two languages. If so, these advantages should be lessened or eliminated when there is no perceptual competition between two languages. The present study investigated the extent of inhibitory control recruitment during bilingual language comprehension by examining associations between language co-activation and nonlinguistic inhibitory control abilities in bimodal bilinguals, whose two languages do not perceptually compete. Cross-linguistic distractor activation was identified in the visual world paradigm, and correlated significantly with performance on a nonlinguistic spatial Stroop task within a group of 27 hearing ASL-English bilinguals. Smaller Stroop effects (indexing more efficient inhibition) were associated with reduced co-activation of ASL signs during the early stages of auditory word recognition. These results suggest that the role of inhibitory control in auditory word recognition is not limited to resolving perceptual linguistic competition in phonological input, but is also used to moderate competition that originates at the lexico-semantic level.

“…Grosjean, 2008;Poplack 1980Poplack , 1981Poplack , 2001. Code-switching has been assumed to be a universal phenomenon amongst bilinguals, but a number of recent studies on bimodal bilingual patterns of language mixing report that bimodal bilinguals rarely code-switch; instead, they use their spoken and their signed language simultaneously intermixed (CODE-BLENDS) (e.g., Baker & Van den Bogaerde, 2008;Bishop, 2010;Casey & Emmorey, 2009;Emmorey, Borinstein, Thompson & Gollan, 2008;Van den Bogaerde & Baker, 2005). The distinction of articulators is interpreted to account for this prominent difference between unimodal and bimodal bilingualism: it is physically impossible to utter two spoken languages at the same time, whereas simultaneous signing and speaking is well feasible .…”

Lexical representation of natural signed language in interrelation to speech was explored by analyzing hearing signers' and non-signers' behavioral response patterns to a within-and across-language semantic decision task. Native hearing signers, non-native sign language interpreters and sign-naïve controls had to decide whether two lexical items (speech-speech or speech-sign) were antonymic or not. Aim of this study was to examine whether sign language and speech are interacting with each other on the semantic level.Response patterns indicate semantic effects on within-language conditions in all three groups, whereas clear semantically motivated responses to cross-language conditions were only apparent in the two signing groups, though with different functional distribution. Our data demonstrate how tightly signing and speech can be interconnected at the semantic level. This linkage is at least partly learned and connected with language usage. key words sign language, bimodal bilingualism, semantics

“…the language that provided the syntactic structure of the utterance) and ASL the accompanying language. In fact, signs are produced with speech even when bimodal bilinguals know that their interlocutors do not know any sign language (Casey & Emmorey, 2009). This code-mixing situation changes when signing, as the spoken language (being the dominant language) is suppressed and appears less frequently in signed utterances.…”

HighlightsActivation of sign language while bimodal bilinguals heard spoken words.Non-selective cross modality language activation in native and late signers.Parallel activation of the non-dominant language while using the dominant language. AbstractThis study investigates cross-language and cross-modal activation in bimodal bilinguals. Two groups of hearing bimodal bilinguals, natives (Experiment 1) and late learners (Experiment 2), for whom spoken Spanish is their dominant language and Spanish Sign Language (LSE) their non-dominant language, performed a monolingual semantic decision task with word pairs heard in Spanish. Half of the word pairs had phonologically related signed translations in LSE. The results showed that bimodal bilinguals were faster at judging semantically related words when the equivalent signed translations were phonologically related while they were slower judging semantically unrelated word pairs when the LSE translations were phonologically related. In contrast, monolingual controls with no knowledge of LSE did not show any of these effects. The results indicate cross-language and cross-modal activation of the non-dominant language in hearing bimodal bilinguals, irrespective of the age of acquisition of the signed language.
