The goal of the present article is to reflect on important methodological aspects to be adopted during the construction of a psycholinguistic task that investigates lexical access in bimodal bilingualism. The Translation Recognition Task presented here was created during the research that gave origin to the master’s dissertation of Fonseca (2015), which investigated the
semantic interference effect in hearing bimodal bilinguals who work as TILS – sign language translators and interpreters, with distinct levels of professional experience. The present article observes the extent to which the task was successful and discusses the need of developing reliable tasks in psycholinguistic studies involving sign languages.
