Abstract

Lexical access can be defined as the search for correspondence between a word and its meaning. In this article, we present the results of a study that investigated lexical access of interlingual homographs, with the following objectives: 1) Identify whether there is a difference in the cost of processing of interlingual homographs, Brazilian-English, and words that were not interlingual homographs in a language decision task; 2) Identify the effects of repetition priming of interlingual homographs and words that were not interlingual homographs in a translation task. Through a quantitative experimental methodology in real time, online, we obtained information on the response time and accuracy of the 23 participants who performed the language decision task (Experiment 1) and the translation task (Experiment 2) in the PsyToolkit software (STOET, 2010, 2017). The results of Experiment 1 showed a significant difference between the mean response time of control words in English in relation to homographic words and control words in Brazilian Portuguese. In Experiment 2, the results showed that there was a repetition priming effect for the “old” control words (CW). These results demonstrate a higher cost of processing for interlingual homographs in bilingual lexical access, contributing to the understanding of the organization and the processing of the mental lexicon of bilinguals.
