Abstract
The present study investigates how input modality (spoken vs. written) and word difficulty (word prevalence and type) affect word recognition accuracy in highly proficient Croatian - English bilinguals. By using a within – participant design, 20 bilinguals completed a lexical decision task in both written, and spoken modality. The results showed no significant difference in word recognition accuracy between modalities, which suggests that proficient bilinguals are able to process words equally... More well in both spoken and written forms. However, word prevalence and word type showed a significant impact on accuracy. Words with high prevalence were recognised more accurately than words with low prevalence, and cognates were recognised with the highest accuracy. These findings support the non-selective activation model of bilingual word recognition, in which both languages are activated simultaneously. This research provides insights into bilingual word processing and recognition, which may offer implications for future language learning. Less
