Abstract
"The phenomenon of semantic satiation was related to the mediation theory of compound and coordinate bilingualism. It was predicted that compound bilinguals, having interdependent language systems, will exhibit a cross-linguistic satiation effect (cross-satiation), while coordinate bilinguals, having functionally independent language systems, would not exhibit the cross-satiation effect. The results supported the prediction that the two types of bilinguals would behave differently and showed that compounds clearly exhibit the cross-satiation effect while coordinates react in the opposite manner. Some additional analyses were discussed which have a further bearing upon the differences in the language structures of compound and coordinate bilinguals."
