• Understanding the Consequences of Bilingualism for Language Processing and Cognition (2013, background): “These effects are found whether or not the two languages use the same writing system (Hoshino & Kroll 2008; Thierry & Wu, 2007) and even when one language is spoken and the other is signed (Morford, Wilkinson, Villwock, Piñar, & Kroll, 2011).”
• Cross-linguistic structural priming in multilinguals: further evidence for shared syntax (2016, background): “Many studies on bilingualism have asked whether there are influences of L1 on processing an L2 (e.g., Thierry & Wu, 2007) or vice versa (e.g., Van Assche, Drieghe, Duyck, & Hartsuiker, 2009).”
• Investigating the time-course of phonological prediction in native and non-native speakers of English: A visual world eye-tracking study (2018, background): “For example, Mishra and Singh (2014) found that Hindi–English bilinguals activated the L1 (Hindi) translation-equivalent word form of an L2 (English) target word after hearing that target word in a sentential context (see Thierry & Wu, 2007, for ERP evidence using a different paradigm).”
• Second Language Proficiency and Cross-Language Lexical Activation (2012, background): “…but also for bilinguals whose two languages have different scripts (e.g., Gollan, Forster, & Frost, 1997; Hoshino & Kroll, 2008; Kim & Davis, 2003; Thierry & Wu, 2004; 2007), different gesture systems (Brown & Gullberg, 2010), or are even from two different modalities, as in sign-speech…”
• Bilingualism: Consequences for Mind and Brain (2012, background): “Similarly, Thierry and Wu [58] presented English monolinguals, Chinese-English bilinguals, and Chinese monolinguals with pairs of words in English (translated to Chinese for Chinese monolinguals) and asked participants to decide if the words were semantically related or not.”
• Lexical and syntactic representations in closely related languages: Evidence from Cantonese–Mandarin bilinguals (2011, background): “Assuming that lexical access in bilinguals is language nonselective (e.g., Thierry & Wu, 2007), the access of, say, a Spanish word also entails the activation of its Catalan translation-equivalent.”
• Juggling Two Languages in One Mind (2008, background): “Studies on cross-script bilinguals who speak Chinese and English or Hebrew and English show the same sort of interactions that have been reported for same-script bilinguals (e.g., Gollan, Forster, & Frost, 1997; Jiang, 1999; Thierry & Wu, 2007; Wu & Thierry, 2010).”
• Is it time to leave behind the Revised Hierarchical Model of bilingual language processing after fifteen years of service (2010, background): “An example of this type of study is Thierry and Wu (2007), who examined fifteen late fluent Chinese–English bilinguals.”
• The Bilingual Adaptation: How Minds Accommodate Experience (2017, neutral): “For example, in a study using electroencephalography (EEG) by Thierry and Wu (2007), Chinese–English bilinguals who were students at an English-speaking university and immersed in an English context, were asked to decide whether or not pairs of English words presented either in print or orally were…”
• Bilingualism and working memory capacity: A comprehensive meta-analysis (2017, background): “Substantial evidence exists that both languages are activated in the bilingual brain even when only one language is being used (Martin et al., 2009; Spivey and Marian, 1999; Thierry and Wu, 2007; Timmer et al., 2014; Wu and Thierry, 2010, 2012; for review, see Kroll et al., 2012).”
