Forty English-French bilinguals divided into equal numbers of nonfluent and fluent subjects took part in a dichotic listening test involving both intralingual and interlingual conditions. No difference in lateralization was found between primary and secondary language in either condition. In the intralingual condition, however, fluent bilinguals showed a significantly lower right ear advantage than did their nonfluent counterparts. In the interlingual condition, French-dominant subjects were found to be more ambilateral than English-dominant subjects, while both groups tended to respond preferentially to French words. These results suggest that growing bilingual proficiency does increase left ear/right hemisphere participation, but in intralingual situations only. Moreover, when both languages are contrasted, French appears to be more salient than English.
40名英法双语者被分成数量相等的不流利组和流利组，参与了一项涉及语内和语间条件的双耳分听测试。在两种条件下，第一语言和第二语言之间均未发现偏侧化差异。然而，在语内条件下，流利的双语者比不流利的双语者表现出明显更低的右耳优势。在语间条件下，发现法语占主导的受试者比英语占主导的受试者更具双侧性，而两组都倾向于优先对法语单词做出反应。这些结果表明，双语熟练程度的提高确实会增加左耳/右半球的参与度，但仅在语内情况下如此。此外，当两种语言进行对比时，法语似乎比英语更突出。
