“…Word mediation has also been employed to explain why categorizing sequences of L2-L1 translation trials did not interfere with performance (Kroll & Stewart, 1994). However, a stronger manipulation involving presentation of semantically related distractors did elicit semantic interference (Miller & Kroll, 2002), and simultaneous presentation of congruent pictures facilitated translation (La Heij et al, 1996); both results support concept mediation. In accord with this interpretation, word characteristics such as concreteness are correlated with translation performance in both directions (de Groot et al, 1994), even in beginning L2 learners (de Groot & Keijzer, 2000).…”

“…The hypothesis of Miller and Kroll (2002) that a languagespecific cue (e.g. the spelling of the word to be translated) may cause the production to proceed more selectively could also offer an alternative explanation for the absence of the gender interference effect in translation.…”

In three experiments native speakers of Czech translated bare nouns and gender-marked adjective + noun phrases into German, their second language (L2). In Experiments 1-3 we explored the so-called gender interference effect from first language (L1) as observed in previous picture naming studies (naming latencies were longer when the L1 noun and its L2 translation had different genders than when their genders were congruent). In Experiments 2 and 3 we investigated the influence of gender transparency in L2 (longer latencies when an L2 noun has a gender-atypical or gender-ambiguous termination than when its termination is gender-typical). Although both effects were observed in L2 picture naming, only the gender transparency effect could be demonstrated in L1 to L2 translation tasks. The resulting constraints on L2 gender processing during translation are discussed in the framework of bilingual speech production models.

“…We presented two lexical retrieval tasks that have been used extensively in the past to study bilingual language representation: picture naming and word translation (e.g., Chen & Leung, 1989;De Groot, 1992;Kroll & Stewart, 1994;Potter et al, 1984). These tasks share a number of components, but differ in that in word translation lexical access precedes conceptual processing, whereas in picture naming this process is reversed (Miller & Kroll, 2002). In both the word translation and the picture naming tasks, we orthogonally manipulated two word type variables: word frequency and cognate status.…”
