Abstract
Compound and coordinate bilinguals, equally skilled in French and English, were compared for their ability to search out “core concepts,” such as TABLE, when given mixed-language clues, such as chaise, food, desk, bois, manger. The clues for each core concept were associational responses taken from separate word-association norms, one English, the other French. Various findings lend support to the theoretical contrast drawn between compound and coordinate forms of bilingualism. Bilinguals with compounds linguistic experiences were more efficient in finding solutions that call for skill in processing mixed-language associative networks.
