The chapter examines the impact of experience-dependent factors (cross-linguistic similarities between the first and second languages, age of acquisition, proficiency, and quality of language exposure) on second-language phonological, semantic, and syntactic processing. Event-related potential (ERP) studies on second-language analysis are examined and summarized for each level of sentence analysis and each experiential factor. The overview provided here points to a largely qualitative distinction between experience-dependent effects observed in phonology/syntax and those reported in semantics, with experience having a stronger impact on the first two domains. The chapter also highlights novel research directions to be pursued and invites to reflection on methodological choices made in bilingual research literature.

Abstract
The chapter examines the impact of experience-dependent factors (cross-linguistic similarities between the first and second languages, age of acquisition, proficiency, and quality of language exposure) on second-language phonological, semantic, and syntactic processing. Event-related potential (ERP) studies on second-language analysis are examined and summarized for each level of sentence analysis and each experiential factor. The overview provided here points to a largely qualitative distinction between experience-dependent effects observed in phonology/syntax and those reported in semantics, with experience having a stronger impact on the first two domains. The chapter also highlights novel research directions to be pursued and invites to reflection on methodological choices made in bilingual research literature.
