Research on third language acquisition has increased over the last few decades with numerous publications examining various aspects of the acquisition and use of a third language, as opposed to a second language (cf. Cabrelli et al., 2023, Cenoz et al., 2001, Ringbom, 2007). One of the most… read more

This paper explores the role of the L1 and the L2 in L3 oral production, both as regards lexicon and syntax. Previous research has shown that both L1 and L2 are used in L3 oral production, and different explanatory factors have been put forward, e.g. (psycho)typology and L2 status. However, these… read more
2014 Vocabulary aspects of advanced L2 French: Do lexical formulaic sequences and lexical richness develop at the same rate? The Acquisition of French as a Second Language: New developmental perspectives, Lindqvist, Christina and Camilla Bardel (eds.), pp. 75–94 | Article
In her overview of research on the advanced L2 learner, Bartning (1997) aims at characterizing the advanced learner variety. This characterization is above all based on morphosyntactic traits. The aim of this contribution is to present additional characteristics of the advanced learner as defined… read more
