AbstractInvestigating the impact of linguistic characteristics on visual word recognition in children, we studied whether differences in native (L1) and second language (L2) processing already emerge at the beginning of reading development. German elementary school students in grades 2 to 6 completed a battery of standardized tests and a lexical decision task (LDT). Though L1 speakers outperformed L2 speakers on German skills, groups did not differ in their overall performance on the LDT. However, results from mixed-effect models revealed greater effects for word frequency and length in L2 over L1 speakers, indicating qualitative differences in the sensitivity to linguistic information between groups. This distinction persisted across all grades and after controlling for differences in vocabulary size and reading fluency. Findings extend evidence provided for adult L2 processing, suggesting that varying language exposure shapes the development of the word-recognition system already in the early stages of reading development.

We review the range of embodied semantic effects that have been found in visual word recognition paradigms (lexical decision, naming). Many different embodied effects have been elicited by distinct measures of sensorimotor information, and are associated with different theoretical accounts of why semantic content affects how quickly a word can be recognised. We discuss effects due to imageability, body-object interaction, relative embodiment, sensory experience, and modality-specific perceptual strength. Finally, we discuss the impact of embodied semantic effects on current models of visual word recognition.
