    Author : Susan Sayehli; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Third language acquisition; second language acquisition; transfer; developmental stages; elicited imitation; syntax; morphology; psychotypology; cross-linguistic influence;

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.
