Abstract: | The lexical bias effect (LBE) is the tendency for phonological substitution errors to result in existing words (rather than
nonwords) at a rate higher than would be predicted by chance. This effect is often interpreted as revealing feedback between
the phonological and lexical levels of representation during speech production. We report two experiments in which we tested
for the LBE (1) in second-language production (Experiment 1) and (2) across the two languages of a bilingual (Experiment 2).
There was an LBE in both situations. Thus, to the extent that the LBE reveals the presence of interactivity between the phonological
and the lexical levels of representation, these effects suggest that there is feedback in second-language production and that
it extends across the two languages of a bilingual. |
