Abstract:

When learners of a new language draw on their native language (or on any other
that they may know), this earlier acquired linguistic knowledge may influence
their success. Such cross-linguistic influence, also known as language
transfer, has long raised questions about what linguists can predict about
success in the new language and about what processes are involved in using
prior knowledge. This book lucidly brings together many insights on transfer:
e.g. on the relation between translation and transfer, the relation between
comprehension and production, and the problem of how complete any predictions
of difficulty may ever be. The discussions also explore implications for
future research and for classroom practice. The book will thus serve as a
reliable guide for teachers, researchers, translators, interpreters, and
students curious about language contact.
