metadata.value: Reading is a complex cognitive process that includes the integration of information
  at different levels. For visual word recognition, factors such as word
  frequency and contextual predictability play a pivotal role in reading efficiency.
  Bilingual lexical processing is even more complex due to cross-linguistic
  similarities and differences. Cognates are of particular interest for the study
  of visual word recognition. Words can vary in terms of orthographic and semantic
  overlaps even in languages that share the same writing system. Word
  recognition becomes more complicated in cases where writing systems are
  completely different. The Cyrillic script is used for the Russian language, but
  the English language uses the Latin alphabet. In the current study, we present
  a gradient scale to determine word similarity across languages. After obtaining
  permission from the corpus builders, we analysed all 1762 words in the written
  corpus of English texts developed for reading in eye-tracking studies. We
  identified letters and letter combinations with orthographic overlap, calculated
  their number, and classified cognates. The score that each word received on the
  gradient scale can be used in statistical models to account for cross-linguistic
  variance in the eye-movement patterns of L2 readers. In this contribution, we
  discuss some of the challenges that emerged for specific words, such as phonological
  dissimilarity between overlapping letters, and differences in the morphological
  structure and contextual embedding of cognates.
