Abstract
This paper revisits the regeneration hypothesis, a proposal about the nature of the psycholinguistic mechanism that supports the immediate recall of sentences recently heard or read. We present a hypothesis about sentence recall in bilinguals, which is based on the assumptions of the regeneration hypothesis. According to the hypothesis, the mechanisms of new sentence production also operate in immediate sentence recall. We address such hypothesis with a study that aimed to investigate the accessibility to language-specific syntactic representations while bilinguals process another language. Results suggest there is such access to language-specific representation, but only for highly proficient bilinguals.
