Sažetak
A study of the influence of complete and partial orthographic overlap (identical and semi-cognates) on the processing of phonologically highly similar cognate equivalents is presented. Result patterns obtained on lexical decision tasks (LDTs) in the visual and auditory modality are compared to uncover differences in cognate processing between two languages of very different orthographic depths ; English is an orthographically deep language, Croatian is orthographically shallow in terms of letter- sound correspondence. Moreover, this chapter presents a longitudinal attempt to capture possible changes in the bilingual processing of the speakers as the measurement is taken at two different points in time considered to be critical for English second language (L2) proficiency development in the studied speakers. This is also an attempt to create an (admittedly very fragile) bridge between the currents of the Old and New Schools of psycholinguistic research (de Bot, 2010, 2015).
