{ "pk": 24546, "title": "Shared syntax in bilinguals: Does code-switching affect the strength of cross-language structural priming?", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Results from both cross-language priming and code-switching studies suggest that syntax is shared between languages in a bilingual's language system. However, it is not clear how these bilingual language phenomena interact. We tested whether, under an implicit learning account, code-switching in the prime increases syntax sharing, leading to stronger cross-language priming. We conducted four simulated Spanish to English structural priming experiments using the Bilingual Dual-path model. The primes either had an English (code-switched) determiner and noun or noun only, at the beginning or end of the sentence, or were entirely in Spanish. Mixed effects analyses only revealed a significant positive interaction between code-switch condition and priming, indicating stronger priming, with a code-switched English noun phrase at the very beginning of the sentence, but non-significant interactions otherwise. These results provide further support for the idea that code-switching and cross-language structural priming can be interpreted as evidence for shared syntactic representations bilinguals.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Linguistics; Language Production; Multilingualism; Syntax; Computational Modeling" } ], "section": "Abstracts", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3x69g1vf", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Yung Han", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Khoe", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Radboud University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Gerrit Jan", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Kootstra", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Radboud University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Edith", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Kaan", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Florida", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Rob", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Schoonen", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Radboud University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Stefan", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Frank", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Radboud University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2024-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24546/galley/21547/download/" }, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24546/galley/14143/download/" }, { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24546/galley/21547/download/" } ] }
