Contreras-Saavedra, Carla E.; Willmes, Klaus; Koch, Iring; Schuch, Stefanie; Philipp, Andrea M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
The aim of the present study was to examine the interplay of morphological configuration switching and language switching. The morphological configuration is present in word-formation whenever a word contains more than one free morpheme. The morphological configuration is variable both within and between languages for example in two-digit number…

Faulty Language Selection in Polyglots.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Shanon, Benny – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1991
Analysis of several types of faulty language selection in polyglots revealed that production errors were not a result of limited vocabulary or language deficiency but rather to interlingual code-switching based on the polyglot's differentiations between dominant language, foreign language, and weak language.

Smits, Erica; Martensen, Heike; Dijkstra, Ton; Sandra, Dominiek – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2006
To investigate decision level processes involved in bilingual word recognition tasks, Dutch-English participants had to name Dutch-English homographs in English. In a stimulus list containing items from both languages, interlingual homographs yielded longer naming latencies, more Dutch responses, and more other errors in both response languages if…

Questions arise regarding (1) the existence of interlingual overgeneralizations, and (2) the possibility that monolingual deviations and bilingual code switching might be forms of overgeneralization. Because a model for…

Rey-von-Allmen, Micheline – 1977
The reflections in this paper represent part of a study of disadvantaged 13 to 15 year-old children of immigrants in Switzerland. This section deals with the process of learning spelling. In order to observe the students' learning, the same dictation was given four times during the school year. The results were studied intuitively and…
