Crosslinguistic Influence in Second Language Acquisition
The phrase crosslinguistic influence (CLI) is roughly synonymous with other terms, most notably language transfer and interference , in that all refer to the influence of one language upon another, most typically in cases of second language acquisition (SLA). These terms continue to be used widely, but in each case the expression is really a cover term for a wide range of phenomena. For that reason, secondary terms are often used, such as positiv…
Conceptual Transfer and Meaning Extensions
As early as Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835) some linguists have seen the mutual relevance of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and linguistic relativity. As will be described, von Humboldt believed that the relation between language and thought is so highly specific to the native language that full attainment of another language is impossible. Relativistic analyses do not, however, compel this pessimistic stance on ultimate attainment in SLA. In…

Crosslinguistic Influence and Conceptual Transfer: What Are the Concepts
This chapter surveys recent work on language transfer and focuses on the intersection of second language acquisition (SLA) and linguistic relativity in what is often termed conceptual transfer . The two most famous exponents of relativity, Wilhelm von Humboldt and Benjamin Lee Whorf, developed their ideas largely from their study of Kawi and Hopi respectively, and both scholars viewed crosslinguistic influence as a manifestation of the "binding p…
Same Source, Different Outcomes: A Study of Swedish Influence on the Acquisition of English in Finland
With a Finnish-speaking majority and a Swedish-speaking minority, Finland offers a striking contrast in the kinds of cross-linguistic influence that can occur in the acquisition of English in a multilingual setting. While much previous research has looked at the differences between Finnish and Swedish influences, our study compares Swedish influence on the use of English by native speakers of Swedish and by native speakers of Finnish, both positi…
Cross‐Linguistic Influence
On the recognition of transfer errors
This study reconsiders a claim by Ioup (1984) that individuals can use only phonological clues in identifying the native language of ESL students. In two different investigations, Ioup found evidence that syntactic errors are of no help in enabling people to identify the mother tongue of an anonymous speaker or writer. Her approach, however, has unwarranted assumptions, and it does not give sufficient regard to some crucial considerations includi…

Language Transfer: Cross-Linguistic Influence in Language Learning
Language Transfer: Cross-Linguistic Influence in Language Learning
The author shows how similarities and differences between languages can influence grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation acquisition. Terence Odlin reconsiders a question that many language teachers and educational researchers have addressed: How much influence can a learner's native language have in making the acquisition of a new language easy or difficult? Odlin analyzes and interprets research showing many ways in which similarities and diffe…

Variable Rules in the Acquisition of English Contractions
Variable rules, a quantitative method of language analysis, offer psycholinguists a means to view language acquisition as a process with order and continuity underlying apparent randomness. Few studies outside of sociolinguistics, however, have made use of such a method. The study outlined in this article illustrates possible uses of such rules in the characterization of interlanguage grammars. The specific case studied is the variability in cont…
