Is acquiring a third language the same as acquiring a second? Are
all instances of non-native language acquisition simply one and the
same? In this first book-length study of the topic, the authors
systematically walk the reader through the evidence to answer these
questions. They suggest that acquiring an additional language in
bilinguals (of all types) is unique, and reveals things about the
links between language and mind, brain, and cognition, which are
otherwise impossible to appreciate. The patterns of linguistic
transfer and what motivates it when there are choices (as can only
be seen starting in third language acquisition) underscores a key
concept in linguistic and psychological sciences: economy.
Overviewing the subfields examining multilingual acquisition and
processing, this book offers an expanded systematic review of the
field of multilingual morphosyntactic transfer, as well as
providing recommendations for the future emerging field.
