L and L Spoken Word Processing: Evidence from Divided Attention Paradigm.

The present study aims to reveal some facts concerning first language (L) and second language (L) spoken-word processing in unbalanced proficient bilinguals using behavioral measures. The intention here is to examine the effects of auditory repetition word priming and semantic priming in first and second languages of these bilinguals. The other goal is to explore the effects of attention manipulation on implicit retrieval of perceptual and conceptual properties of spoken L and L words.
