| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study investigated the visual word recognition process of different-script bilinguals from an experimental psycho linguistic perspective. Specifically, the present study was interested in finding out how different-script bilinguals (e.g., Japanese-English bilinguals) process and represent L2 English letters and words. The results of the present study showed that at the letter level, their representations are developed to the level of native English readers. However, at the lexical level, their representations were qualitatively different from native English readers, with orthographic similarity being a facilitory, rather than inhibitory factor in the reading of English words.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
バイリンガルの単語処理の研究は、L1語とL2語間で表記が同じバイリンガルを対象としたものがほとんどであり、表記の異なるバイリンガルを対象とした研究は少ない。本研究により、表記の異なるバイリンガルのL2英語単語認識について、新たな知見を発表することができた。日英バイリンガルの持つこれらの特徴を捉え、今後、英語教育など、言語の応用研究分野で効果的な教育法などの開発などにつなげることが可能になった。
