Lexical processing and organization in bilingual first language acquisition: Guiding future research.

Abstract: A rich body of work in adult bilinguals documents an interconnected lexical network across languages, such that early word retrieval is language independent. This literature has yielded a number of influential models of bilingual semantic memory. However, extant models provide limited predictions about the emergence of lexical organization in bilingual first language acquisition (BFLA). Empirical evidence from monolingual infants suggests that lexical networks emerge early in development as children integrate … Show more

“…These networks have sought to elaborate on certain intricacies such as nodal spreading activation (Ying 2017), network density (Wilks et al 2005) and unsupervised self-organizing patterns, which seek to replicate learning algorithms, such as Hebbian learning principles, which explain how repeated behavior leads to strengthened connections in memory (Zhao and Li 2010). For more information on the variety of connectionist networks employed by the mainstream literature, see DeAnda et al (2016). One principle element of a connectionist network is the mathematical or computational consequences of the network's internal structure in the exploration of governing patterns within the mental lexicon (Wilks and Meara 2002).…”

“…Much less is known about the development of bilingual children's semantic system (DeAnda, Poulin-Dubois, Zesiger, & Friend, 2016). There are some similarities between bilinguals and monolinguals that could suggest that they develop semantic networks in a similar time frame.…”

“…More convincing however is non-selective lexical access in comprehension, that is, the fact that speech presented in one language activates word recognition in the two languages, as demonstrated in adults (e.g., Dijkstra, 2005), and observed at least as young as from three years of age (e.g., Poulin-Dubois, Bialystok, Blaye, Polonia, & Yott, 2013;Von Holzen & Mani, 2012; see the review by DeAnda, Poulin-Dubois, Zesiger, & Friend, 2016). However, even if there were an initial separation of lexicons, bilinguals would still demonstrate language-specific differences from the parallel learning of two language systems.…”
