Abstract

Summary Recognition of significant words is tested under 4 conditions of presentation and recognition : 1) French-French (FF) ; 2) English-English (EE) ; 3) English-French (AF) ; 4) French-English (FA). Subjects were selected according to 5 learning levels of the foreign language (English language) : pupils of the 5th, 3rd and lst forms and lst and 3rd year university students majoring in English. Monolingual recognition (FF and AA) is higher than bilingual recognition (AF and FA). Lower level subjects (5th and 3rd forms) performed better than advanced students (5th, 3rd and lstforms are superior to lst and 3rd year university mainly in monolingual situations). The results are interpreted by hypothesizing differential coding in terms of perceptual or semantic cues. Perceptual coding seems to be superior to semantic coding in immediate recognition tasks.
