Figure 2.

Conjunction maps between Mandarin Chinese (L1) and English (L2) stimuli show the overlapping areas of activation between the two languages in sentence focus (top) and sentence type (bottom) tasks separately. Common activation is indicated by the overlap (yellow) between Chinese (red) and English (blue) stimuli in the functional activation maps. Overlapping areas of activation are observed for the two languages in frontal, parietal, and temporal areas. Significantly activated voxels (t_1‐tailed = 3.25, P < 0.005) located within a radius of 7.6 mm were grouped into clusters, with a minimum cluster size threshold corresponding to 7 original resolution voxels (738 mm³).
