Clitics and object expression in the L3 acquisition of Brazilian Portuguese: Structural similarity matters for transfer (2011, background): “Rothman (2011) seems to support structural similarity.”
The role of L1 explicit metalinguistic knowledge in L3 oral production at the initial state* (2013, background): “This factor, as originally described by Kellerman (1983), and many after him, see e.g. Rothman (2011), can be related to explicit MLK.”
The scalpel model of third language acquisition (2017, background): “Finally, the TPM (Rothman, 2011, 2015) posits that initial L3 development is constrained by what the internal parser takes to be the (actual or perceived) structural similarity among the three grammars.2 Potential cues for that development include similarities in the lexicon, phonetics/phonology, fu”
Crosslinguistic influence in the acquisition of a third language: The Linguistic Proximity Model (2017, background): “We then consider models that focus on the role of structural factors, the Cumulative Enhancement Model (CEM; Berkes & Flynn, 2012; Flynn et al., 2004) and typology-based models such as the Interlanguage Transfer Hypothesis (ITH; Leung, 1998, 2003) and the Typological Primacy Model (TPM; Rothman, 201”
A systematic review of transfer studies in third language acquisition (2018, background): “And so, by typology the TPM refers to underlying structural similarity (see González Alonso and Rothman, 2017; Rothman, 2011, 2015 for discussion).”
What is special about L3 processing?* (2013, background): “Later work from Rothman (2010, 2011) on word order, relative clause attachment preferences and adjectival interpretation further supports the proposal that the acquisition of an L3 is inﬂuenced by the (psycho)typology of the previously learned languages.”
Linguistic and cognitive motivations for the Typological Primacy Model (TPM) of third language (L3) transfer: Timing of acquisition and proficiency considered* (2013, background): “Like the CEM, the Typological Primacy Model (TPM; Rothman, 2010, 2011, 2013), envisions accessibility to multiple sources of transfer in multilingual syntactic acquisition and assumes that the L3 initial state provides access to both the L1 and L2.”
