L3 Syntactic Transfer
Models, new developments and implications
Editors

This book fills an existing gap in the field of third language acquisition (L3A) by bringing together theoretical, empirical, and practical accounts that contribute to informed teaching practices in multilingual classrooms. The volume is organised into three sections that focus on prominent syntactic transfer models in the field of L3A and together provide insights into the interplay of the influences of prior languages in L3 syntax and how we can enrich the practical field of instructed L3 acquisition. Part I includes original papers dealing with new developments of existing theoretical models on syntactic transfer in L3A and Part II consists of empirical studies testing existing models from different perspectives (formal, lexico-functional, and neurocognitive). Following these two sections, Part III discusses how theory can inform practices for L3 learning and teaching. This concise compilation brings to light innovations, not only in terms of theoretical refinements and practical implementations, but also in offering an impressive range of language combinations. This book is intended to act as a unique resource for scholars, applied linguists, language educators, both novices and experts alike, in and beyond the field of L3A.

“The editors compiled an innovate collection of high quality research by most prominent researchers and colleagues in the field. This comprehensive volume provides a welcome addition to the field of L3 acquisition not only because established researchers have joined their forces, but also because it provides insights both in fundamental theoretical issues as well as applications for language teaching. It makes a great contribution both for scholars as well as students interested in language acquisition research. I highly recommend this inspiring collection, which proves to be a masterly treatment of this highly debated and thus challenging topic.”
Jörg-U. Keßler, Ludwigsburg University of Education, Germany
“This book has two great merits. It examines and integrates different theoretical models of L3 acquisition, and it bridges the gap between research on L3 syntactic transfer and foreign language pedagogy by discussing practical implications of evidence provided in the existing L3 literature for instructed L3 acquisition.”
Thorsten Piske, Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany
“This collection is a welcome contribution to the dynamically developing field of third language acquisition, offering valuable insights from three complementary perspectives that involve modeling and researching L3 syntactic transfer as well as implementing the findings to the actual teaching practice.”
Magdalena Wrembel, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland
