ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we define auditory priming and describe its uses in L1, bilingual, and L2 processing and acquisition research. We outline the three experimental tasks commonly used in auditory priming research and describe in detail the materials, procedure, and analysis for each task. We then highlight as an example a study that used auditory priming to investigate L2 acquisition, and we point out issues to consider when designing auditory priming experiments. We conclude the chapter with suggestions for additional uses of auditory priming tasks in L2 research.
