“…Cross-language ERP results show orthographic and phonological activation during the same time windows as for L1 research suggesting rapid and automatic activation of the sub-lexical phonology of both the L1 and L2 whereby the phonology belonging to the language of the word is automatically selected (Jouravlev et al, 2014; Timmer et al, 2014a,b). To conclude, these results provide additional evidence for an early locus of the MOPE.…”

“…Recent ERP studies have clearly shown GPC occurring approximately 150 ms after target presentation, providing neural evidence for an early locus (Timmer and Schiller, 2012; Timmer et al, 2012, 2014a,b; Jouravlev et al, 2014). …”

“…However, the phonological MOPE presents not only in one’s L1 but also in one’s L2 (Timmer and Schiller, 2012), and even in cross-language contexts (Jouravlev et al, 2014; Timmer et al, 2014a,b). For example, an L2 (English) prime that was phonologically related to the onset of an L1 (Dutch) target (e.g., phone – FIETS ) revealed faster response latencies compared to an unrelated condition (e.g., pain – FIETS ).…”

“…The P325 has been associated with lexical form processing; it was demonstrated to be susceptible to partial (e.g., teble – TABLE ) compared to full repetition priming, but not to unrelated compared to partial priming (Holcomb and Grainger, 2006). However, the reading aloud literature has always used unrelated and partial priming and has shown that effects continue into this later component (Timmer and Schiller, 2012; Timmer et al, 2012, 2014a,b; Jouravlev et al, 2014). The N400 is believed to be a form-meaning interface in LDT research (e.g., Holcomb and Grainger, 2006; Grainger and Holcomb, 2009).…”

The sub-lexical conversion of graphemes-to-phonemes (GPC) during reading has been investigated extensively with behavioral measures, as well as event-related potentials (ERPs). Most research utilizes silent reading (e.g., lexical decision task) for which phonological activation is not a necessity. However, recent research employed reading aloud to capture sub-lexical GPC. The masked priming paradigm avoids strategic processing and is therefore well suitable for capturing sub-lexical processing instead of lexical effects. By employing ERPs, the on-line time course of sub-lexical GPC can be observed before the overt response. ERPs have revealed that besides phonological activation, as revealed by behavioral studies, there is also early orthographic activation. This review describes studies in one’s native language, in one’s second language, and in a cross-language situation. We discuss the implications the ERP results have on different (computational) models. First, the ERP results show that computational models should assume an early locus of the GPC. Second, cross-language studies reveal that the phonological representations from both languages of a bilingual become activated automatically and the phonology belonging to the context is selected rapidly. Therefore, it is important to extend the scope of computational models of reading (aloud) to multiple lexicons.

“…In contrast, studies that have explored transfer in the reverse direction (L2 onto L1) have been more limited, particularly in morphosyntax (Frenck-Mestre and Pynte, 2000; Linck et al, 2009; Whitford and Titone, 2012; Timmer et al, 2014). An eye-tracking study by Dussias and Sagarra (2007) tested attachment preferences in temporarily ambiguous relative clauses (e.g., the brother 1 of the actress 2 that ?…”

When the Second Language Takes the Lead: Neurocognitive Processing Changes in the First Language of Adult Attriters

Although research on multilingualism has revealed continued neuroplasticity for language-learning beyond what was previously expected, it remains controversial whether and to what extent a second language (L2) acquired in adulthood may induce changes in the neurocognitive processing of a first language (L1). First language (L1) attrition in adulthood offers new insight on neuroplasticity and the factors that modulate neurocognitive responses to language. To date, investigations of the neurocognitive correlates of L1 attrition and of factors influencing these mechanisms are still scarce. Moreover, most event-related-potential (ERP) studies of second language processing have focused on L1 influence on the L2, while cross-linguistic influence in the reverse direction has been underexplored. Using ERPs, we examined the real-time processing of Italian relative-clauses in 24 Italian-English adult migrants with predominant use of English since immigration and reporting attrition of their native-Italian (Attriters), compared to 30 non-attriting monolinguals in Italy (Controls). Our results showed that Attriters differed from Controls in their acceptability judgment ratings and ERP responses when relative clause constructions were ungrammatical in English, though grammatical in Italian. Controls’ ERP responses to unpreferred sentence constructions were consistent with garden path effects typically observed in the literature for these complex sentences. In contrast, due to L2-English influence, Attriters were less sensitive to semantic cues than to word-order preferences, and processed permissible Italian sentences as outright morphosyntactic violations. Key factors modulating processing differences within Attriters were the degree of maintained L1 exposure, length of residence in the L2 environment and L2 proficiency – with higher levels of L2 immersion and proficiency associated with increased L2 influence on the L1. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that high levels of L2 proficiency and exposure may render a grammatical sentence in one’s native language ungrammatical. These group differences strongly point to distinct processing strategies and provide evidence that even a “stabilized” L1 grammar is subject to change after a prolonged period of L2 immersion and reduced L1 use, especially in linguistic areas promoting cross-linguistic influence.
