Results from psycholinguistic studies suggest that lexical representations in L1 and L2 might not have the same nature: if L1 words are stored on a semantic basis, in the semantic memory, novice bilinguals might store L2 words on an episodic basis, creating lexical representations that show close connections with the contexts in which the word is experienced, rather than with more abstract concepts. Thus, in tasks where episodic connections are stimulated, participants should perform better in L2. These insights are investigated through an experiment performed with pseudo-verbs.
