Evidence is provided in support of the position that third language (L3) transfer is selective, whereby, at least under certain conditions, it is driven by the typological proximity of the tar”
A systematic review of transfer studies in third language acquisition (2018, methodology): “Since the most powerful dataset is one that is able to consider as many theories as possible within the same experimental design, some authors (e.g., Falk and Bardel, 2010; Rothman, 2010; Rothman and Cabrelli Amaro, 2010) have encouraged the use of a specific method that helps researchers to tease a”
Linguistic and cognitive motivations for the Typological Primacy Model (TPM) of third language (L3) transfer: Timing of acquisition and proficiency considered* (2013, background): “argued in Rothman (2013), the TPM is as much about modeling L3 transfer as it is an epistemological footnote towards refining our understanding of the nature of linguistic acquisition and the cognitive factors that result in acquisition unfolding the way it does.”
