Document Summary
Long-term memory: stores info for long periods of time. Working memory: pulls info from long-term m. and manipulates it for the necessary duration. (the aim of this chapter: familiarize you with research on bilingual declarative memory. ) Weinreich described 3 organizations of word knowledge in a bil"s mental lexicon. Coordinative: a word in l1 and its translation in l2 have separate form representations and separate conceptual representations. Compound: a word in l1 and its translation in l2 have separate form representations and shared conceptual representations. Subordinative: the form representation of an l2 word does not map directly onto a conceptual representation. It maps onto the corresponding l1 form representation and exploits the latter"s conceptual representation. Weinreich"s compound and subordinative memory systems are equivalent to potter"s concept. Potter"s hypothesis: with increased l2 learning, direct links between the l2 form representations and the conceptual representations (shared between l1/l2) develop, replacing word-association connections.
