Project description

The current project investigates bilingual word and sentence processing. A first study examines whether the top-down influence of a sentence context modulates the activation of phonological representations in both languages. A second study investigates whether semantic representations of the nontarget language become activated during word processing. A third study examines bilingual syntactic processing.
