In this chapter, we situate cross-language influences as an interdisciplinary research topic, outline the structure of the volume, and highlight key points from the state-of-the-art review chapters. The chapters critically evaluate the present state of research into cross-language influences across three core domains of linguistic knowledge (phonology, lexicon, and morphosyntax) and identify promising directions for future interdisciplinary research.

Keywords: bilingualism, second language acquisition, cross-language influences, phonology, lexicon, morphosyntax
