Does morphology play a role in L2 processing? Evidence from inflectional and derivational priming with Greek speakers of English
Résumé
In the domain of bilingual/second language processing, the existence and exact role of linking representations in the organisation of the lexicon summarizes the questioning of a large body of psycholinguistic research over the last years. According to Bybee (1985; 1988), morphology is the factor that clusters the (monolingual) lexicon and this organisation transcends languages. Such an organisation would have deep implications for second language acquisition and would therefore be reflected in bilingual online processing. Indeed, recent psycholinguistic literature investigates L2 processing with various methodologies among which masked priming is a privileged technique. From studies examining the role of morphology on cognate and non-cognate processing, with protocols in which both languages of the bilingual are presented, under same-script (e.g. Spanish-Catalan, Sánchez-Casas & García-Albea, 2005; Duñabeitia, Dimitropoulou, Morris & Diependaele, in press) or cross-script conditions (ex. Greek-French: Voga & Grainger, 2007; Voga 2005; Voga & Anastassiadis-Symeonidis 2012), research shows growing interest for L2 processing in advanced learners and bilinguals.
