Semantic priming effects and lexical access in English as L3

Abstract: We report an experiment using a picture-naming task within the masked priming paradigm to examine lexical access in English as a third language. Participants were assigned to one of three groups: a control group, consisting of native speakers of English, and two experimental groups, one consisting of speakers of English as L2 and the other consisting of speakers of German as L2 and English as L3. Participants of the two experimental groups were native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese. All participants performe… Show more

“…Together, our results show that, for trilinguals, the L2 (German) exerts a strong influence on the production of L3 English (TOASSI; MOTA, 2014;MOTA, 2018), demonstrated in terms of CLI and reaction time. These results add to those we found for L3 English comprehension (TOASSI; MOTA; TEIXEIRA, 2020), demonstrated in terms of fixation time.…”

“…Different experimental tasks with the same language combinations have pointed to similar conclusions. In a cross-language priming experiment, Toassi and Mota (2018) found a strong influence of German in participants' reaction time in the oral production of English as L3. Triple cognates were also shown to have a significant facilitation effect in the reading of English as L3 (TOASSI; MOTA; TEIXEIRA, 2020).…”
