Overview

This work presents a view of the phenomenon of native language influence in second language acquisition. The study of language transfer has undergone significant changes over the past few decades. This book traces the conceptual history of language transfer from its early role within a contrastive analysis framework to its current position within universal grammar. The introduction presents a continuum of thought starting from the late 1970s, a time in which major rethinking in the field regarding the concept of language transfer was beginning to take place, and continuing through to the present day in which language transfer is integrated within current concepts and theoretical models. The afterword unites the issues discussed in the book and allows the reader to place these issues in the context of future research.
