Abstract

How lexicon is represented in the mind in the bilinguals still attracts the scholars' interest. A variety of experiments, in different methodologies under different theoretical framework, were conducted, producing different results. This study used the data from Jiang (1999) to duplicate a masked translation lexical decision task experiment, aiming at examining the asymmetry effect in the proficient Chinese English learners studying in Singapore. The results did not show the existence of L1-L2 priming effect assured in the previous studies but see the L2-L1 priming effect as reported in Jiang (1999).
