n8_ImJelpRJS6lyLPmDWQp00QHDywjCisQVXjJm9UqYM65QUMg).

This special issue of the I-LanD Journal will focus on the role of language
typology on L2 acquisition and learning. It will be edited by Simona ANASTASIO
(UMR 7023 SFL CNRS & University of Lille, France) and Patrizia GIULIANO
(University of Naples ‘Federico II’, Italy).

Research on typological variation across languages has been conducted for
decades and important advances have been made in the domain. For instance, it
is well know that Germanic vs Romance native speakers differ in the ways they
conceptualize and verbalize events (e.g., aspect, time, motion, modality,
perspective) both at the sentence level (von Stutterheim 2003) and at
discourse level (Klein & von Stutterheim 2002; Carroll & Lambert 2006) and
this is partly due to the typological properties of languages. Restructuring
these patterns in the process of acquisition of another language with a
different set of patterns is known to be very difficult (e.g., Cadierno & Ruiz
2006 for motion; von Stutterheim 2003 for ongoingness vs boundness; Giuliano &
Anastasio 2021a for time and aspect; Giuliano & Anastasio 2021b for
subordination). In spite of the evident role of inter-typological contrasts
during the process of second language acquisition (in terms of
cross-linguistic influence, see Sharwood Smith & Kellerman 1986; Odlin 1989,
2003, 2005; Jarvis & Pavlenko 2010), there is little research which focuses on
the impact of intra-typological variation, i.e. typological differences or
similarities between languages of the same type (except for Ibarretxe-Antuñano
2009, 2015; Anastasio 2018, 2019, 2021). Additionally, the impact of language
typology is still far from being fully understood for several reasons: a)
native speakers’ preferences go beyond the clear-cut typological
classification when encoding the intended message; b) most studies look at
learners with an L1/L2 combination of languages belonging to different genetic
and typological families and very few consider the impact of the L1 when the
learners’ languages in contact are typologically close (however, see Benazzo &
Andorno 2017; Anastasio 2019, 2021, Hijazo-Gascón 2021) and can, however, lack
equivalent form-function categories.
This special issue aims to bring together recent empirical research on
(intra)typological contrasts and their role on language acquisition and
learning. Articles are encouraged to primarily present empirical studies
relying on original data, involving linguistic and non-linguistic tasks.
Studies on learners at all stages of learning, from low to high proficiency
levels, especially with typologically close L1-L2 combinations, and in
different learning contexts, are strongly encouraged. Additionally, research
that explores morphological, syntactic and lexical differences between
languages and their possible consequences for framing events are particularly
welcome. The special issue will provide for a timely update within the
research field of typology and language acquisition and learning by building
on and complementing previous literature on the subject.
