Cross-language interactions during concurrent comprehension and production: Evidence from simultaneous interpreters [dataset] Open Access
It has been established that bilinguals activate both languages simultaneously even when only one language is being used. However, little is known about how the two languages are co-activated during simultaneous interpreting, a demanding task involving the explicit use of both languages and concurrent operation of comprehension and production. This study investigated (1) the effect of task on cross-language co-activation and (2) the time-course of co-activations triggered by form and meaning. Thirty-one professional interpreters were recruited to complete a cross-language task (English-to-Chinese simultaneous interpreting) and a within-language task (English-to-English shadowing) while their eye movements were tracked. Participants heard English passages which contained critical spoken words, each paired with a visual display of four Chinese words. One of the words in visual display was a competitor that resembled the translation equivalent of the spoken word in either form or meaning, and the other three were unrelated distractors. We found that participants directed more visual attention on word-form competitors compared to distractors at two stages: an early stage immediately after spoken word onset and a late one prior to (or during) production. Activation of semantic information, as indicted by more looks to semantic competitors, appeared only after spoken word offset. Our findings suggest that the time lag between input and output modulated the time-course of co-activation, providing implications for the serial versus parallel account of the cognitive processes underlying interpreting.
