Description
Acquiring a third language presents unique opportunities for insight into the links between language and mind, brain, and cognition. This first comprehensive study of the topic explores the evidence to answer fundamental questions about non-native language acquisition. The authors examine patterns of linguistic transfer and what motivates it in bilinguals acquiring an additional language, revealing key concepts in linguistic and psychological sciences. By overviewing subfields examining multilingual acquisition and processing, this book provides a systematic review of the field of multilingual morphosyntactic transfer, as well as recommendations for future research. By shedding light on the complexities of non-native language acquisition, this book offers valuable insights into the nature of language and cognition.
