Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this research was to investigate bilingual lexicon of different-script bilinguals, focusing on the role of L2 proficiency on the organization of the mental lexicon. The research found that higher L2 proficiency aids the development of automatic connection between L2 orthography to semantics. Higher L2 proficiency also contributed to the development of the phoneme-sized phonological unit in the reading of L2 words. Nevertheless, the acquisition of the phoneme-sized unit was not directly related to higher L2 proficiency per se, but rather, was related to the length of stay in English speaking countries, which is one of the characteristics of high-proficient bilinguals.
