2021 Transfer patterns in L 3 learning discussed Epistemological issue: Sources of knowledge in L3 acquisition, Flores, Cristina and Neal Snape (eds.), pp. 50–53 | Commentary
The keynote from Schwartz and Sprouse (2020) starts with an overview of various models of L3 acquisition, with focus on syntax. The authors come to the conclusion that the Typological Proximity Model (TPM) is the model which can explain L3 acquisition development. In this commentary we sort out… read more
2017 Chapter 6. On pronouns that drop (out of German) L3 Syntactic Transfer: Models, new developments and implications, Angelovska, Tanja and Angela Hahn (eds.), pp. 127–142 | Chapter
The null-subject parameter (NSP) is a well-studied syntactic feature within the field of L3 learning. The present study explores whether the L2 status factor (e.g., Bardel & Falk, 2012) exerts such a strong impact that the NSP from a non-typologically close or even similar L2 (Spanish/Italian) can… read more
2014 When Germans begin to learn Swedish: Which is the transfer source for function words, content words and syntax? EUROSLA Yearbook: Volume 14 (2014), Roberts, Leah, Ineke Vedder and Jan H. Hulstijn (eds.), pp. 225–239 | Article
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
2012 The L2 status factor and the declarative/procedural distinction Third Language Acquisition in Adulthood, Cabrelli, Jennifer, Suzanne Flynn and Jason Rothman (eds.), pp. 61–78 | Article
This chapter deals with the assumed qualitative difference between the learning of a chronologically true L2 and the subsequent learning of an L3, and the related issue of transfer from L2 into L3. In fact, some recent studies show that L2 can take on a stronger role than L1 as a transfer source in… read more
