Durand-López, Ezequiel M. – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2022
Bilinguals recognize words with shared morphology and phonology cross-linguistically (i.e., cognates) faster than words that do not have these characteristics. Moreover, higher phonological overlap in cognates enhances the effects, which suggests that phonology eases word recognition. However, it is currently unclear whether words compete purely…
