Rezensionen

"This volume is an outstanding contribution to the study of cross-linguistic influence in L3 acquisition. The in-depth analysis of tense is a very significant addition to the study of the differences between second and third language learners. The volume will be of enormous interest to anyone interested in the study of second/third language acquisition and multilingualism."

Jasone Cenoz, University of the Basque Country

"This book offers an impressively comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of theoretical and empirical issues in L3 acquisition research. It is an excellent contribution to the field."

Marit Westergaard, UiT The Arctic University of Norway / NTNU Norwegian University of Science and

Technology

"An excellent volume on crosslinguistic influence in the L2 and L3 acquisition of English by several groups of monolingual learners (some from under-researched L1s) and a unique group of unbalanced bilingual heritage speakers. It draws the reader's attention to both linguistic and extra-linguistic variables to explain the findings. A must-read."

María del Pilar García Mayo, Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU)

"This book offers a comprehensive and in-depth overview of the dynamically developing field of L3 acquisition. With a focus on bilingual heritage speakers, the original empirical investigation presented therein contributes to the ongoing debate on bilingual advantage and provides relevant implications for foreign language classrooms."

Magdalena Wrembel, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan
