Lexical access while reading is affected by language-specific (morphology, spelling) and universal (predictability, frequency, word length) factors. The question of what influences the reading process in L2 reading remains open. Most studies are carried out with reference to English, which means that our understanding of lexical access in L2 is limited to some extent due to the variety of the languages. Investigating non-native reading in different language pairs can shed some light on the universal and language-specific principles of lexical access. We present an open-source corpus adapted for non-native readers which is available for future research on Russian as L2. It contains 90 sentences with the full description of linguistic parameters for each word. The effects of length, frequency, and predictability were examined in a self-paced reading task experiment. The results of our study show the effects of length, frequency and predictability for native and non-native speakers of the Russian language, while the size of the effect is larger for non-native speakers.
