As well, potential differences between the lexical organization of bilinguals and trilingual were examined. Previous research has revealed that language dominance and proficiency play a crucial role in intra- and interlanguage interference. Typically, interlingual interference originates from the dominant language (L1) ; however, as proficiency in the non-dominant …
