Explorations of Language Transfer (Paperback): Terence Odlin Explorations of Language Transfer (Paperback)
Terence Odlin
R819 Discovery Miles 8 190 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

When learners of a new language draw on their native language (or on any other that they may know), this earlier acquired linguistic knowledge may influence their success. Such cross-linguistic influence, also known as language transfer, has long raised questions about what linguists can predict about success in the new language and about what processes are involved in using prior knowledge. This book lucidly brings together many insights on transfer: e.g. on the relation between translation and transfer, the relation between comprehension and production, and the problem of how complete any predictions of difficulty may ever be. The discussions also explore implications for future research and for classroom practice. The book will thus serve as a reliable guide for teachers, researchers, translators, interpreters, and students curious about language contact.

New Perspectives on Transfer in Second Language Learning (Paperback): Li Ming Yu, Terence Odlin New Perspectives on Transfer in Second Language Learning (Paperback)
Li Ming Yu, Terence Odlin
R1,090 Discovery Miles 10 900 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

When people attempt to learn a new language, the language(s) they already know can help but also hinder their understanding or production of new forms. This phenomenon, known as language transfer, is the focus of this book. The collection offers new theoretical perspectives, some in the empirical studies and some in other chapters, and consists of four sections considering lexical, syntactic, phonological and cognitive perspectives. The volume provides a wealth of studies on the influence of Chinese on the acquisition of English but also includes studies involving Finnish, French, Hindi, Korean, Persian, Spanish, Swedish and Tamil. It will be of great interest to researchers and students working in the areas of crosslinguistic influence in second language acquisition, language pedagogy and psycholinguistics.

Studies of Fossilization in Second Language Acquisition (Paperback): Zhaohong Han, Terence Odlin Studies of Fossilization in Second Language Acquisition (Paperback)
Zhaohong Han, Terence Odlin
R669 Discovery Miles 6 690 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This volume, as a sequel to Fossilization in Adult Second Language Acquisition by Han (2004), brings together a collection of most recent theoretical and empirical studies on fossilization, a classic problem of second language acquisition. It covers a wide range of perspectives and issues. The analyses discussed herein address key concerns of many second language researchers and teachers with regard to just how far anyone can go in learning a new language.

Perspectives on Pedagogical Grammar (Paperback, New): Terence Odlin Perspectives on Pedagogical Grammar (Paperback, New)

In Perspectives on Pedagogical Grammar, Professor Odlin brings together eleven authorities from various parts of the world to update current theory and research in this area of language pedagogy. The first section addresses grammatical analysis, covering Chomskyan Universal Grammar and a number of alternative models. Section two shows how lexicon and discourse rules interact with and influence the grammatical system. A final section deals directly with applications, outlining effective methods of teaching grammar in different areas of the language curriculum.

Language Transfer - Cross-Linguistic Influence in Language Learning (Paperback, New): Terence Odlin Language Transfer - Cross-Linguistic Influence in Language Learning (Paperback, New)

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? Transfer has long been a controversial issue, but many recent studies support the view that cross-linguistic influences can have an important impact on second language acquisition. Odlin analyzes and interprets research showing many ways in which similarities and differences between languages can influence the acquisition of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. In addition he provides a detailed look at work on other areas important for the study of transfer including discourse, individual variation, and sociolinguistic factors. Language teachers, applied linguists, and educational researchers will find this volume highly accessible and extremely valuable to their work.
