3. Developmental Perspectives on Transfer in Third Language Acquisition
Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to examine how learner-general developmental stages in syntax and morphology interact with a language-specific factor, the influence of—or transfer from— the language learner’s first (L1) or previously learned second (L2) language on the acquisition of a third language (L3). It thereby aims to bring together two lines of research whose main concepts—transfer and developmental stages—have often been defined as mutually exclusive and generally studied in separate lines of research.

However, there are controversial findings related to devel-opmental patterns and factors involved in children’s episodic memory function. READ MORE
