Development of the second-language lexicon was investigated in two on-line experiments. In both experiments, priming was examined within the second language under automatic conditions and for nonnative speakers of two different levels of performance. Experiment I showed secondlanguage priming for various lexical relationships for proficient nonnative speakers. Moreover, the results found for the proficient bilinguals were highly similar to those found for a group of native control subjects. Experiment 2 examined priming of the dominant and subordinate meanings of biased homographs such as "seal." Priming was found for both meanings, for proficient bilinguals working in their second language, and for native control subjects, but only for the dominant meanings for a group of intermediate nonnative speakers. Again, the pattern of results found for the proficient bilinguals and native controls was highly similar. The ensemble of these results provides evidence for second-language autonomy, which is determined, however, by both level of expertise and type of lexical relationship. The autonomy postulated here is limited, moreover, to exploiting the second-language lexicon for the purposes of recognition and cannot at present be said to extend to production. @ 1997 Academic Press
