3. Developmental Perspectives on Transfer in Third Language Acquisition
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to examine how learner-general developmental stages in syntax and morphology interact with a language-specific factor, the influence of—or transfer from— the language learner’s first (L1) or previously learned second (L2) language on the acquisition of a third language (L3).
