Interlingual Interference in Naming Color Words

H. Asuman Kiyak

University of Washington

The Stroop Color-word test was administered to two groups of bilinguals to assess the relative influence of interlingual versus intralingual interference. Subjects included 10 native Turkish speakers whose second language was English and 10 native English speakers who spoke Turkish fluently. Each subject was asked to vocalize color names in Turkish and in English, using a control list (XXX), a Turkish list, and an English list of color words written in a contrasting color ink from the meaning of the color word. Intralingual interference was greater than interlingual for American subjects, but Turks experienced both forms of interference almost equally. Overall interference was greater for Americans. Results suggest that interlingual interference may be related to familiarity with a language. Implications for assessing fluency in a second language are discussed.
