We suggest bi-alphabetic cognition as a new tool to investigate code-switching and a new domain for short-term and long-term influences of cognitive control.

We discovered that language control can be exerted to resolve interference between the two alphabets during comprehension. This is true both for the sustained and the transient control (however, we observed some variations in the dynamics of the two types of language control).

PAE (the difference between the ambiguous and unambiguous variant of the same word) was larger both for the globally and the locally switched alphabet. Additionally, the effect of the global switch was larger in the local switch condition (local by global switch interaction).

In addition to presenting phonologically ambiguous and phonologically unambiguous words in two alphabets, we manipulated sustained and transient language control. The goal was to investigate (for the first time) the language control in within-language alphabet switching.

We build upon the PAE as an indicator of interference between the two alphabets and use the size of PAE as an indicator of language control: large PAE would indicate problems in restricting the mapping to the correct alphabet code.

By combining shared letters we created words with lexical reading in only one alphabet (pseudowords in the other alphabet). Such words are slower to recognize in their ambiguous form as compared to the unambiguous versions of the same words, aka PAE: Phonological Ambiguity Effect

Some of the letters are shared between alphabets, and some of the shared letters are phonologically ambiguous.

Serbian speakers are highly fluent in two alphabets - Cyrillic and Roman.

🧵👇Our JML paper on language control in switching alphabets within a language is out! 🎆 The paper can be accessed for free until September 26 2024 via this link:

We are finishing the review process and will be sending notifications soon!
Early in May, we will also share the conference schedule (spoiler alert — the three days will be packed and we might suggest some socializing on Sunday, too).

Although talks are by invitation only, anyone can apply for a poster presentation (of completed projects, works-in-progress, or project ideas).

Thanks to @escop.bsky.social, we can offer 2 #scholarships of 1000 Euros each (one reserved for an ESCoP member, one for a researcher studying under-represented languages).

Fee @escop.bsky.social-funded waivers available for International Meeting on Quantifying #Semantic-#Orthographic Regularities Across #Languages (QuaSemO)! Please find all the information here: sites.google.com/view/gewonn/...

We especially encourage attendees working on #semantic processing or #reading in under-studied #languages, and can provide scholarships to cover (some of the) travel costs!

Cool workshop on the way 😁 👇
