Abstract:

Crosslinguistic influence is an established area of second language research, 
and as such, it has been subject to extensive scrutiny. Although the field has 
come a long way in understanding its general character, many issues still 
remain a conundrum, for example, why does transfer appear selective, and why 
does transfer never seem to go away for certain linguistic elements?  Unlike 
most existing studies, which have focused on transfer at the surface form level, 
the present volume examines the relationship between thought and language, in 
particular thought as shaped by first language development and use, and its 
interaction with second language use. The chapters in this collection 
conceptually explore and empirically investigate the relevance of Slobin's 
Thinking-for-Speaking Hypothesis to adult second language acquisition, offering 
compelling and enlightening evidence of the fundamental nature of 
crosslinguistic influence in adult second language acquisition.
