Bilingual insights into the initial lexicon: the role of cognates in word acquisition

Bilingual infants acquire words at a similar rate as monolingual ones, despite navigating a more intricate linguistic environment. The mechanisms behind this phenomenon remain elusive. Our project addressed the potential facilitation role of cognateness—phonological similarity across translation equ...

Se desconocen los mecanismos detrás de este fenómeno. Este proyecto abordó el posible papel facilitador de la similitud fonológica entre traducciones equivalentes (TEs), o cognasticidad, en el desarrollo léxico bilingüe. Las trayectorias de adquisición de una amplia muestra de palabras en catalán y español revelaron dicho efecto de facilitación de la cognasticidad, especialmente en el idioma de menor exposición. Presentamos una explicación teórica de este efecto, basada en la hipótesis del acceso léxico no selectivo: el Accumulator Model of Bilingual Lexical Acquisition (AMBLA). Probamos la plausibilidad de este modelo mediante un paradigma experimental de reconocimiento de palabras. Los resultados de este proyecto aportan conocimiento relevante sobre el impacto de la no selectividad del acceso léxico en el léxico bilingüe inicial.Programa de Doctorat en BiomedicinaUniversitat Pompeu FabraSebastián Gallés, NúriaUniversitat Pompeu Fabra.
