During reading, we can process and integrate information from words allocated in the parafoveal region. However, whether we extract and process the meaning of parafoveal words is still under debate. Here, we obtained Fixation-Related Potentials in a Basque-Spanish bilingual sample during a Spanish reading task. By using the boundary paradigm, we presented different parafoveal previews that could be either Basque non-cognate translations or unrelated Basque words. We prove for the first time cross-linguistic semantic preview benefit effects in alphabetic languages, providing novel evidence of modulations in the N400 component. Our findings suggest that the meaning of parafoveal words is processed and integrated during reading and that such meaning is activated and shared across languages in bilingual readers.

巴斯克-西班牙语双语读者的跨语言语义预览优势：来自固定相关电位的证据

在阅读过程中，我们可以处理和整合分配在副中心凹区域中的单词的信息。然而，我们是否提取和处理副中心凹词的含义仍在争论中。在这里，我们在西班牙语阅读任务期间获得了巴斯克-西班牙语双语样本中的固定相关电位。通过使用边界范式，我们呈现了不同的旁中心凹预览，可以是巴斯克语的非同源翻译或无关的巴斯克语词。我们首次证明了字母语言中的跨语言语义预览效果，提供了 N400 组件中调制的新证据。我们的研究结果表明，parafoveal 单词的含义在阅读过程中被处理和整合，并且这种含义在双语读者中被激活和跨语言共享。
