Phonological Recoding in the First and Second Language Reading of Skilled Bilinguals.

Segalowitz, Norman; Hebert, Martine

Language Learning, v40 n4 p503-38 Dec 1990

Examines phonological recoding in reading by highly skilled English and French bilinguals. In general, slow second-language (L2) readers were not more dependant upon phonological recoding than L2 readers, L2 presented a heavier working memory processing load for slow readers, and different phonological effects existed for French and for English.
