Abstract:

This book represents concurrent attempts of multiple researchers to address
the issue of cross-linguistic transfer in literacy. It includes broad spectrum
of languages and reflects a new generation of conceptualizations of
cross-linguistic transfer, offering a different level of complexity by
studying children who are trilingual and even learning a fourth language. 

The collection of papers in this volume tried to capture the dynamic
developmental changes in cross-linguistic transfer that include such factors
as age of acquisition, typological proximity of L1 and L2 (and L3, L4),
intensity of exposure to language and reading in ambient and newly acquired
language(s), quality of input and home literacy. More stringent methodological
considerations allowed to isolate specific constructs that suggest either
primary levels of children’s metalinguistic abilities (phonological awareness
that can be applied cross-linguistically) or a more language-specific
constructs (morphological awareness) that relies on various factors, including
typological proximity, language proficiency and task demands.
