Hello Laura--

MIT psychologist Paul A. Kolers did research in the 1960s that  
involved read-aloud protocols
of mixed English-French text with French-English bilinguals that  
resulted in some of the kinds
of behaviors you describe.

Here are a couple of references that I have at hand. They are old, but  
you may find them of interest.

Kolers, P.A. 1966. Reading and Talking Bilingually.  American Journal  
of Psychology, 79.

________. 1968. Reading is Only Incidentally Visual."In K.S. Goodman  
and J. T. Fleming (Eds.)
	Psycholinguistics and the Teaching of Reading. Newark, DE:  
International Reading Association.

________ 1970. Three Stages of Reading. In H. Levin and J. Williams  
(Eds.)  Basic Studies on
	Reading.  New York: Harper and Row.

I would be interested in knowing about more recent studies on this  
topic if you turn up some.

Regards,
Rick Jackson
