dc.description.abstract | The examination of how words are learned can offer valuable insights into the
nature of lexical representations. For example, a common assessment of novel word
learning is based on its ability to interfere with other words; given that words are
known to compete with each other (Luce and Pisoni, 1998; Dahan et al., 2001), we
can use the capacity of a novel word to interfere with the activation of other lexical
representations as a measure of the degree to which it is integrated into the mental
lexicon (Leach and Samuel, 2007). This measure allows us to assess novel word
learning in L1 or L2, but also the degree to which representations from the two lexica
interact with each other (Marian and Spivey, 2003). Despite the somewhat independent
lines of research on L1 and L2 word learning, common patterns emerge across the
two literatures (Lindsay and Gaskell, 2010; Palma and Titone, 2020). In both cases,
lexicalization appears to follow a similar trajectory. In L1, newly encoded words often
fail at first to engage in competition with known words, but they do so later, after
they have been better integrated into the mental lexicon (Gaskell and Dumay, 2003;
Dumay and Gaskell, 2012; Bakker et al., 2014). Similarly, L2 words generally have a
facilitatory effect, which can, however, become inhibitory in the case of more robust
(high-frequency) lexical representations. Despite the similar pattern, L1 lexicalization is
described in terms of inter-lexical connections (Leach and Samuel, 2007), leading to
more automatic processing (McMurray et al., 2016); whereas in L2 word learning, lack
of lexical inhibition is attributed to less robust (i.e., fuzzy) L2 lexical representations.
Here, I point to these similarities and I use them to argue that a common mechanism
may underlie similar patterns across the two literatures. | es_ES |
