The influence of language distance and language status on the acquisition of L3 phonology (2010, background): “Several studies have demonstrated that typological closeness is the most influential factor in the acquisition of lexis in a third language (Cenoz, 2001; Möhle, 1989; Rossi, 2006; Singleton, 1987).”
Clitics and object expression in the L3 acquisition of Brazilian Portuguese: Structural similarity matters for transfer (2011, background): “…L1 have been subsumed under L2 acquisition, recent research has made increasingly clear that interlanguage development of an L2 is not necessarily identical to that of an L3, especially in regard to potential sources of transfer (Cenoz, 2001, 2003; Leung, 2006; Rothman and Cabrelli Amaro, 2010).”
Language and Cognition in Bilinguals and Multilinguals: An Introduction (2010, result): “Similar findings are confirmed in Cenoz (2001) and Del Puerto (2007). These studies confirm de Groot’s findings that suggest that languages with less typological distances lead to additive bilingualism.”
L2-accented speech in L3 production (2010, background): “…of L2 status or a ‘foreignlanguage effect’, i.e. the impact of previously learnt foreign language(s), rather than only the mother tongue, on the phonetic performance in a third language (cf. Cenoz, 2001; Fernandes-Boëchat, 2007; Hammarberg, 2001; Hammarberg & Hammarberg, 2005; Meisel, 1983).”
Same Source, Different Outcomes: A Study of Swedish Influence on the Acquisition of English in Finland (2004, background): “…other investigations: for example Swedish was more influential than Finnish in the acquisition of English (Ringbom, 1987, 2001), Spanish more influential than Basque in the acquisition of English (Cenoz, 2001), and Czech more influential than English in the acquisition of Russian (Du skov a, 1984).”
The bilingual advantage in phonetic learning* (2014, background): “Indeed, there is evidence that typological distance, especially when comparing L1 and L2 to L3, has been found to affect L3 acquisition (Cenoz, 2001; Hammarberg, 1997, 2001).”
Who Transfers More … and What? Crosslinguistic Influence in Relation to School Grade and Language Dominance in EFL (2005, methodology): “…by the subjects who transfer remains relatively stable across grades in our study, although overall it decreases slightly (see Tables 4 and 5); in Cenoz (2001) if the number of transferred terms by subjects who transfer is calculated, it decreases across grades (from Grade 2 with a mean of 5.17,…”
