Abstract:

This volume provides an unprecedented insight into current approaches to
crosslinguistic influence (CLI). The collection investigates a range of themes
including linguistic relativity, the possible contributions of
neurolinguistics, the problem of cognitive development and the role of the
frequency of structures in acquisition from distinct, overlapping and
complementary perspectives. Chapters focusing on vocabulary, morphosyntactic
categories, semantic structures, and phonetic and phonological structures
feature in the volume, as do over 20 languages, in order to offer new insights
into both theoretical and empirical issues in CLI, including the consequences
of great or little similarity in structures between languages. The relevance
of CLI research for teaching is discussed in a number of chapters, as is the
phenomenon of multilingualism. The collection will appeal to researchers,
graduate and postgraduate students, teachers and professionals interested in
the field of CLI in SLA.
