“…These results therefore suggest that cross-linguistic structural priming does not require word-order repetition, in accord with studies such as Bernolet et al (2009) and Shin and Christianson (2009), but in contrast to other studies such as Loebell and Bock (2003), Bernolet et al (2007), and Salamoura and Williams (2007). Bernolet et al (2009) found that transitive priming does not require word order repetition, and we found equivalent results for languages that are less closely related than English and Dutch.…”

Shared representation of passives across Scottish Gaelic and English: evidence from structural priming

et al. 2018

Evidence from cross-linguistic priming suggests that bilinguals can share their representations of constructions that occur in both languages. Some studies suggest that such sharing occurs only when the constructions involve identical syntactic categories and word order, thereby supporting a restricted sharedstructure account of bilingual linguistic representation. But other studies suggest that such exact repetition is not necessary for priming. To address this question, we conducted an experiment in which bilingual speakers of Scottish Gaelic and English heard Gaelic utterances involving actives, two types of passives, or noun phrase conjunctions (as a baseline), and then produced English transitive descriptions. Their target descriptions tended to use the same construction as the prime utterances. As both active and passive word order differs between Gaelic and English, the results support a less restricted sharedstructure account of bilingual linguistic representation.

“…For example, Shin and Christianson (2009) found priming of two types of dative sentences across languages in Korean-English bilinguals, even though the verb occurs sentencefinally in Korean, but not in English. However, a third type of dative did not show priming effects.…”

“…Just as for cognates at the level of lexical items, bilinguals could be more or less disadvantaged in full sentence production as a function of the similarity of syntactic structures across languages. Evidence showing transfer of syntactic properties across languages (e.g., Antón-Méndez, 2010) and cross-language syntactic priming (e.g., Bernolet, Hartsuiker, & Pickering, 2007; Hartsuiker, Pickering, & Veltkamp, 2004; Loebell & Bock, 2003; Shin & Christianson, 2009) suggests that syntax may be shared, or at least may interact during online processing, across languages. This might lead to full or partial frequency inheritance across languages for similar syntactic structures, attenuating, eliminating, or even reversing the bilingual disadvantage.…”

A disadvantage in bilingual sentence production modulated by syntactic frequency and similarity across languages

Bilingual speakers access individual words less fluently, quickly, and accurately than monolinguals, particularly when accessing low-frequency words. Here we examined whether the bilingual speech production disadvantage would (a) extend to full sentences above and beyond single word retrieval and whether it would be modulated by (b) structural frequency and (c) syntactic properties of the bilingual speakers’ other language. English monolinguals, Spanish-English bilinguals and Mandarin-English bilinguals were tested in a sentence production task conducted exclusively in English. Response times were modulated by bilingualism, structural frequency, and structural similarity across the bilingual speakers’ two languages. These results refine our knowledge regarding the scope of the bilingual disadvantage, demonstrate that frequency effects apply to syntactic structures, and also suggest that syntax is partially shared across bilinguals’ two languages.

“…Some researches (Bernolet, Hartsuiker, & Pickering, 2007;Loebell & Bock, 2003) found that in the process of the cross-linguistic syntactic priming, the word sequence could be activated, while other researches (Chen, Jia, Wang, Dunlap, & Shin, 2013;Shin & Christianson, 2009; argued that the word sequence could not be activated.…”

The syntactic priming is not only a very important repetitive priming phenomenon, it is also important for studying the syntactic representation and the speech production mechanism. Since the priming is related to the selecting process of the target sentences, it is of serious requirement for both the experimental materials and paradigms. The main questions studied in the syntactic priming correlates with the construction, the syntactic hierarchy and the representation of verbs, etc. Mastering the syntactic priming's experimental paradigm and knowing the corresponding research questions would be of great significance to studying the syntactic representation and the syntactic teaching in the field of teaching Chinese as a second language.
