Do bilinguals have a single integrated lexicon? How can bilinguals prevent interference between their languages?
This paper will discuss three fundamental questions about bilingual language organization and processing:(1) how are the lexica of bilinguals organized (as separate lexica or as one integrated lexicon), (2) in which way are the words in the two lexica of bilinguals accessed (selective or nonselective), and (3) can bilinguals prevent interference between their languages? A series of experiments will be presented that investigate these questions by looking at effects of similarity between words of the bilingual's two languages in terms of orthography, phonology, and semantics. The results provide evidence for parallel activation of words in an integrated lexicon. Furthermore, models that assume a word identification system with these characteristics will be discussed.
