How does parallel language activation affect switch costs during trilingual language comprehension?

ABSTRACT

Declerck, M., Koch, I., Duñabeitia, J., Grainger, J., & Denise, N. [(2019). What absent switch costs and mixing costs during bilingual language comprehension can tell us about language control? Journal of Experimental Psychology Human Perception & Performance.] assumed that the absence of switch costs in bilingual language comprehension may be due to little degree of parallel language activation while substantial degree of it may lead to switch costs. This study tested this assumption by examining the switch costs during Russian-English-Chinese trilinguals’ performing lexical decision tasks in language pairs of L1–L2 in Experiment 1a, L1–L3 in Experiment 1b and L2–L3 in Experiment 1c. We found switch costs in L2 in Experiment 1a and switch costs in both L1 and L3 in Experiment 1b, but no switch costs in both L2 and L3 in Experiment 1c. These results generally provided evidence for the account.     

Modelling the surface stress of alkali halides

A model to determine the stress on the (100) surface of NaCl-type alkali halides is developed. The model predictions correspond to those of other theoretical calculations.

古埃及动植物崇拜及其影响

动植物崇拜是古埃及宗教的重要内容,在埃及文明中占有重要地位。尼罗河流域的地理和人文环境孕育了古埃及宗教。由于当时人们对世界的认知水平有限,产生了自然神崇拜,动植物崇拜是自然神崇拜的组成部分。动植物具有旺盛生命力的特征,使渴望永生的埃及人对沙漠中的动植物产生敬畏心理。埃及人的动植物崇拜不仅反映在埃及人的创世神话、敬拜的神灵,还具体体现在埃及人对性器观的崇拜上。这种崇拜对埃及人的哲学思想、民俗审美、建筑文化甚至文学艺术产生了巨大影响。
