L2 and L3 Speech Learning
Third language acquisition has emerged as a new research perspective at the end of the 20th century with the recognition of qualitative and quantitative differences between the learning of the first non‐native language (L2) and the subsequent ones (L3/Ln). A growing body of L3 literature attests to dynamically developing investigations into speech patterns of multilingual learners. These learners are characterized as possessing enhanced metalingu…
Can language attrition be reversed
MMN and LDN asymmetries in Polish–English–Norwegian trilingual listeners
Purpose: This paper presents event-related potential (ERP) findings from a study investigating mismatch negativity (MMN) and late discriminative negativity (LDN) response asymmetries in trilingual listeners. The research aimed to explore phonetic representation in multilingual individuals. While theories predicting privative feature specification suggest stronger MMN and (potentially) LDN effects when the standard auditory stimuli have a feature …
Are we equally accented in L2 and L3? Perception of foreign accentedness and comprehensibility in multilingual speakers
Aims and objectives: We examined whether the language status (L2 vs L3/L n ), the presence of grammatical errors, and the degree of speech monitoring affect the perceived global foreign accent and comprehensibility in L1 Polish multilingual learners speaking L2 English and L3/L n Norwegian. Methodology: We conducted a foreign accentedness rating study in two non-native languages with speech samples in three different conditions, including languag…
Structure-dependent sensitivity to morphosyntactic violations in L3 Norwegian
Aims and Objectives: The study aims to investigate online sensitivity to morphosyntactic violations in Norwegian as a third language (L3). Design/methodology/approach: L1 Polish–L2 English–L3 Norwegian trilinguals ( N = 56) and a control group of native Norwegian speakers ( N = 25) performed a self-paced reading task in Norwegian, with sentences including adjectival gender agreement and pronominal possessor agreement violations. Data and analysis…
Multilingual speech rhythm
Fluency profiles in multilingual speech
The aim of the study was to investigate multilingual fluency in L1 Polish, L2 English and L3 Norwegian speakers. The measures included mean duration of pauses, number of pauses per second, mean length of run, pause to speech ratio and articulation rate in two types of tasks: extemporaneous and read aloud speech. The results of a linear mixed-effects regression revealed significant main effects of task and selective effects of language, with artic…
Can lexical and morphosyntactic dialect features be acquired by L3 speakers? The case of Poles in Tromsø
Aims and Objectives/Purpose/Research Questions: There is scant literature on second dialect acquisition for both L1 and L2 speakers (Drummond, 2013; Gnevsheva et al., 2022), with no literature on L3 speakers. In this article, we focus on dialect acquisition in multilinguals, in participants’ third or additional language acquired in adulthood. We explore this in the context of Norway, a country with significant dialectal variation and where dialec…
Selective cross-linguistic influence in L3 acquisition ab initio
Studies on cross-linguistic influence (CLI) in third language (L3) acquisition of morphosyntax have predominantly used offline tasks to determine which language(s) constitute the source of CLI. Yet, they provide little evidence about incremental processing of morphosyntactic features that are similar to participants’ first language (L1) and/or second language (L2). Therefore, we conducted an eye-tracking study with Polish–English bilinguals ( n =…
How syntactic gradience in L1 affects L3 acquisition
The article reports on a longitudinal study of syntactic cross-linguistic influence (CLI) among L1 Polish learners of L2 English and L3 Norwegian. The study mainly aimed to determine the influence of gradience in L1 on third language acquisition. To this end, four syntactic properties were tested, two of which exhibit similarity between Polish and Norwegian (subject-oriented possessive pronouns and adverb placement), and the other two – between E…
The perception of gradient acceptability among L1 Polish monolingual and bilingual speakers
Gradient acceptability, which characterizes partially acceptable constructions within a given population of speakers, is a phenomenon whose cognitive underpinnings are yet to be fully understood. In this paper we share insights from a study where the causes of gradient acceptability were investigated from a language-external, speaker-oriented perspective. Specifically, we tested whether the mono- and bilingual status and age play a role in the pe…
The neurophysiology of phonemic contrasts perception in L2/L3 learners
Phoneme discrimination is believed to be less accurate in non-native languages compared to native ones. What remains unclear is whether differences in pre-attentive phonological processing emerge between the first foreign language (L2) and additional ones (L3/L n ), and whether they might be influenced by the acquisition setting (formal vs. naturalistic). We conducted an event-related brain potential oddball study with native Polish learners of E…
The role of accentedness in acceptability judgements in L3 Norwegian
Foreign-accented speech has been explored from various perspectives, yet the current study is one of the first to investigate the role of accentedness in relation to acceptability judgements in multilingual acquisition. We consider possible interactions of two domains, phonology and syntax, by presenting learners of L3 Norwegian with an Acceptability Judgement Task focusing on eight morphosyntactic properties. Stimuli were recorded with Polish, E…
Cross-linguistic interactions in voiceless sibilant production in L1 Polish, L2 English, and L3 Norwegian
Perceived cross-linguistic similarity of retroflexes in trilingual, bilingual and native listener groups
Developmental acquisition of stops by multilingual speakers
The study aimed to analyse the production of plosive sounds by trilingual speakers of L1 Polish – L2 English – L3 Norwegian. The main objective was to trace any changes in the VOT production of fortis and lenis stops in all three languages (Polish, English and Norwegian) produced by novice L3 learners with a focus on possible cross-linguistic interactions. The investigation was conducted across three testing times throughout the first year of L3 …
The relationship between the perception and production of L2 and L3 rhotics in young multilinguals; an exploratory cross-linguistic study
There is a scarcity of research into the relationship between speech perception and production from a multilingual perspective. The present exploratory study investigates longitudinally the acquisition of rhotic sounds in 24 adolescent learners who have the same language repertoires (English, German, Polish), with English being their L2, and German and Polish their L1 or L3. The design involved a forced-choice goodness task (for perception) and a…
Phonological cross-linguistic influence at the initial stages of L3 acquisition
This study investigates sources of phonological cross-linguistic influence (CLI) at the initial stages of third language (L3) acquisition in light of the predictions of the second language (L2) Status Factor Model, the Typological Primacy Model, the Cumulative Enhancement Model, the Linguistic Proximity Model and the Scalpel Model. The productions of L3 rhotic sounds, /w/ and final obstruent devoicing, elicited in a delayed repetition task, were …

Multilingual learners’ perceptions of cross-linguistic distances
Recent research suggests that psychotypology may be one of the main factors determining L3 acquisition and use, especially so in the early stages. However, the existence and nature of multilingual learners’ perception of language proximity have often only been assumed rather than measured, and rarely addressed with respect to the increasingly established understanding of the multilingual mind as a complex interconnected system. The present study …
Differences in phonological awareness of young L3 learners
This study aims to investigate the nature of phonological awareness in young L3 learners, and the extent to which it changes over time as L2 and L3 learning progresses. Two groups of 12 closely matched multilinguals (total= 24, aged 12–13), who shared their L2 (English) but their L1/L3 (German/Polish) were mirrored, mimicked L2 and L3 accents in their L1 speech and reflected over their mimicry performance at the beginning and at the end of the fi…
Multilingual acquisition property by property
This commentary discusses the recent keynote article by Westergaard (2021), which is an interesting contribution to the field of language acquisition and multilingualism, especially because it attempts to provide a wider perspective by embracing first, second and third language acquisition. I address major claims put forward by Westergaard, to support them with my own research data from the domain of phonology as well as to raise some questions a…
Cross-Linguistic Interactions in Third Language Acquisition
Research on third language (L3) phonological acquisition has shown that Cross-Linguistic Influence (CLI) plays a role not only in forming the newly acquired language but also in reshaping the previously established ones. Only a few studies to date have examined cross-linguistic effects in the speech perception of multilingual learners. The aim of this study is to explore the development of speech perception in young multilinguals' non-native lang…
Extending perceptual assimilation model to L3 phonological acquisition
The scarcity of research on speech perception among multilingual speakers precludes a full understanding of phonological acquisition in the third language (L3). In this controlled case study, we investigate L3 phonological acquisition in the perceptual domain and test the predictions of Perceptual Assimilation Model- L2 (Best & Tyler, 2007) adopted for multilingual learners. We employed an AX discrimination task, testing categorical discriminatio…

Interactions between three phonological subsystems of young multilinguals
This study examines the interactions between three vocalic subsystems of multilingual speakers and explores the role language status might play in explaining variability across them. Eight 14-year-olds raised in Germany, who had learnt English at school for 6 years and Polish for 1 year, participated in the study. They were divided into three groups: children of German parents, children with one Polish-speaking parent but with German as the main …
