This study investigated the hypothesis of nonselective access to phonological representations in an integrated lexicon across logographic and alphabetic writing systems among Chinese L1 (first language)-English L2 (second language) bilinguals. We employed three experiments to test this hypothesis, including a lexical decision task (LDT) and a word naming task in Experiments 1 and 2 using the masked priming paradigm, and a self-paced sentence reading task in Experiment 3. Results from the LDT and the word naming task showed a significant homophone priming effect from L1 to L2, but not from L2 to L1. In the sentence reading task, we compared processing time between homophone error words and control words in the critical and spill-over regions. A slower processing effect in the homophone condition was observed in the spill-over region. Overall, these findings suggest that phonological priming occurs across a logographic and an alphabetic script in different tasks, whether reading isolated words or sentences. Bilingual reading involves an integrated bilingual lexicon that is independent of script similarity.
本研究旨在调查在中文母语-英文第二语言双语者的综合词汇中，是否存在跨正字法和字母书写系统的非选择性语音表征通达的假设。我们采用了三种实验来检验这一假设，包括实验 1 和实验 2 中的词汇判断任务 (LDT) 和词名任务，使用掩蔽启动范式，以及实验 3 中的自我调节句子阅读任务。LDT 和词名任务的结果显示，从母语到第二语言存在显著的同音字启动效应，但反之则不然。在句子阅读任务中，我们比较了关键区域和溢出区域中同音字错误词和控制词的加工时间。在同音字条件下，在溢出区域观察到处理时间较慢的效应。总的来说，这些发现表明，在不同的任务中，无论是阅读孤立的单词还是句子，语音启动都会发生在正字法和字母书写系统之间。双语阅读涉及一个独立于书写系统相似性的综合双语词汇。
