“…At least at first glance, the studies that so far have considered effects of language-extrinsic cues, such as the visual appearance of people and objects, converge on a rather different conclusion (Hartsuiker & Declerck, 2009;Jared et al, 2013;Li et al, 2013;Martin et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2013). Specifically, these studies found that the language associated with visual representations affected aspects of language production, including naming latencies, language intrusion speech errors, fluency, and the network of brain areas activated during picture Second, the literature on visual cues has exclusively focused on measures of language production, while most studies looking at sentence cues have looked at language comprehension.…”

“…A priming effect from Chinese vs. Caucasian faces was also observed by Zhang, Morris, Cheng, and Yap (2013). These authors had subjects (ChineseEnglish bilinguals) engage in a computer-mediated spoken conversation in English with someone introduced as Michael Lee.…”

“…For instance, Yang and Yang (2013) suggest that Zhang et al's (2013) visual language cueing effects might be restricted to subjects with very low proficiency, based on observations in the literature that grammatical and lexical intrusions of the native language occur more frequently in relatively lower proficiency bilinguals than higher proficiency bilinguals (Poulisse & Bongaerts, 1994). Kroll and McClain (2013) similarly suggest that such effects might well be modulated by factors such as age of second language acquisition and whether the bilingual is immersed in their second language or not (also see above).…”

“…Indeed, Zhang et al (2013) argue for an interference account, based on the conclusions of one experiment (Experiment 3) in which there were Chinese and American primes (cultural icons) but also matched control conditions. The target language was English.…”

Attention and Vision in Language Processing

Bilinguals need to select the right language for the particular context they are in, but how do they do this? One possibility is that they exploit visual cues from the context such as people's faces, so that recognition of the face increases the availability of the language associated with that face. This chapter first examines the degree to which bilinguals activate multiple languages and how this is constrained by linguistic cues and then discusses three new lines of research that investigate visual language cueing. Specifically, these new research lines suggest effects on language processing of (a) the language associated with familiar people's faces (e.g., German for Angela Merkel); (b) language that people associate with the race of unknown faces (e.g., Chinese for an Asian face, English for a white face); (c) language associated with cultural icons (e.g., Russian for a picture of the Kremlin).Hartsuiker -visual cues for language in bilingualism 3
