AB  - In this study, we experimentally manipulated the phonology of the cross-script 
      prime-target dyads in an ERP-coupled masked priming paradigm to explore the role 
      phonology plays in visual word processing. The written characters of certain 
      bilingual dyads seldom show any visual/orthographic similarity, yet have the same 
      phonological representation. While the Bilingual Interactive Activation (BIA) 
      model relies on the orthographic similarity between the languages in a bilingual 
      dyad, its revised version (BIA + model) additionally banks on the phonological 
      (and semantic) similarity between the words in such dyads. Thus, there exists the 
      need to investigate the role of phonological (and semantic) similarity between 
      the words of a bilingual dyad, especially in the absence of orthographic 
      similarity. Borrowed words from one language to another provide a suitable avenue 
      to explore this question. Cross-orthographic (or cross-script) bilingual 
      participants of this study performed the semantic judgment of visually presented 
      words in a masked priming paradigm in each of their languages while we 
      simultaneously collected the event-related potentials (ERPs). The primes were 
      either translations (different phonology & orthography: P-O-; phonologically 
      incongruent) or transliterations (same phonology & different orthography: P + O-; 
      phonologically congruent) of the target. Overall, the results showed no 
      difference between the two prime conditions. We discuss our findings in light of 
      the BIA and BIA + models of bilingual visual word processing and discuss the 
      relevance of the former model in orthographically distinct bilingual language 
      dyads.
