Property-by-Property Acquisition of a Second Language: What Transfers, under What Conditions, and How Does Recovery from Transfer Proceed?
Second Language Research, v37 n3 p435-439 Jul 2021
This commentary discusses the recent keynote article in "Second Language Research" by Westergaard (2021), which extends the Micro-cue Model to second language (L2) and third language (L3) acquisition. The commentary comments on such questions as: What makes a given property easy or hard to acquire? How do learners determine similarity? What exactly is the role of UG, on a non-parametric view? And what explains the differences between L1 and L2/subsequent acquisition?
