Description

New Perspectives on Transfer in Second Language Learning by Liming Yu and Terence Odlin explores how our existing language knowledge can both aid and hinder our understanding of new languages. This collection of studies delves into the phenomenon of language transfer, examining its effects across various linguistic domains. The book covers a range of perspectives, including lexical, syntactic, phonological, and cognitive approaches, and features empirical research on the influence of Chinese on English acquisition, as well as studies involving Finnish, French, Hindi, Korean, Persian, Spanish, Swedish, and Tamil. This volume is an essential resource for researchers and students working in second language acquisition, language pedagogy, and psycholinguistics. By shedding new light on the complexities of language transfer, this book provides valuable insights into the intricacies of language learning and its many challenges.
