Weber, A., & Cutler, A. (2007). Knowing what you cannot hear: Knowledge sources for lexical representations in asymmetric bilingualism. Talk presented at 3rd Annual Rovereto Workshop on Bilingualism. Rovereto, Italy. 2007-09-20 - 2007-09-23.
Abstract
Early-acquired vocabulary is (of necessity) mostly based on auditory input. But for later-acquired vocabulary (in an L1 or L2), other knowledge sources can also be tapped. Where phonetic contrasts in an L2 cannot be adequately distinguished, the level of detail provided by these sources at the lexical level may be greater than prelexical processing is capable of matching. -

Weber, A., & Cutler, A. (2002). Phonetic discrimination and non-native spoken-word recognition. Poster presented at 143th meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, Pittsburgh, PA.
Abstract
Words sharing initial segments are briefly activated during the recognition of spoken words. For example, given the input panda, English listeners will initially activate panda and panic among other candidates, which will then compete against each other for recognition. However, in a non-native language, listeners may be less accurate in processing phonemes. This may in turn influence competitor activation in nonnative listening.
