spelling Parafoveal Processing in Bilingual Readers: Semantic Access Within but Not Across LanguagesHoversten, Liv J.Martin, Clara D.bilingual readingbilingual language controleye movementsparafoveal processingsemantic preview benefitPublished online 26 October 2023Prior research has investigated the quality of information a reader can extract from upcoming parafoveal words. However, very few studies have considered parafoveal processing in bilingual readers, who may differ from monolinguals due to slower lexical access and susceptibility to cross-language activation. This eye-tracking experiment, therefore, investigated how bilingual readers process parafoveal semantic information within and across languages. We used the boundary technique to replace a preview word in a sentence with a different target word during the first rightward saccade from the pretarget region. We manipulated both preview language (nonswitch vs. code-switch) and semantic relatedness (synonym/translation vs. unrelated) between previews and targets. Upon fixation, target words always appeared in the same language as the rest of the sentence to create an essentially monolingual language context. Semantic preview benefits emerged for nonswitched synonym previews but not for code-switched translation previews. Furthermore, participants skipped code-switched previews less often than nonswitched previews and no more often than previews that were unfamiliar to them. These data suggest that bilinguals can extract within-language semantic information from the parafovea in both native and nonnative languages, but that cross-language words are not accessible while reading in a monolingual language mode, as per the partial selectivity hypothesis of bilingual language control.This research was supported by the Basque Government through the BERC 2022–2025 program and by the Spanish State Research Agency through the BCBL Severo Ochoa excellence accreditation CEX2020-001010-S and through a Juan de la Cierva-Incorporación postdoctoral grant to Liv J. Hoversten. The research was also supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (PID2020-113926GB-I00 to Clara D. Martin) and the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (Grant Agreement 819093 to Clara D. Martin).

Hoversten served as lead for data curation, formal analysis, funding acquisition, methodology, project administration, software, visualization, writing–original draft, and writing–review and editing. Clara D. Martin contributed equally to supervision and served in a supporting role for conceptualization, funding acquisition, resources, and writing–review and editing.APA202420242023info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10810/66845reponame:Addi.
