Description
This collection provides an in-depth exploration of crosslinguistic influence (CLI) in second language acquisition. It delves into various themes, including linguistic relativity, neurolinguistics, cognitive development, and the role of structural frequency, from multiple perspectives.
Featuring over 20 languages, this volume offers new insights into both theoretical and empirical issues in CLI, shedding light on the consequences of language similarity or difference. The research also touches on the relevance of CLI to teaching and the phenomenon of multilingualism.
This book will be of interest to researchers, students, teachers, and professionals working in the field of crosslinguistic influence in second language acquisition.
