“…However, some studies with bilingual children (Hulk 2000;Matras 2009;Leśniewska, Pichette 2013;Leśniewska, Witalisz 2013) have provided evidence that the syntactic systems of both languages affect each other, and that, if there is certain similarity between the two language systems, crosslinguistic influence is more likely to occur (Döpke 2000b;Hulk, Müller 2000).…”

This study aims to assess the extent of crosslinguistic influence in English as the weaker language of unbalanced bilingual children, and to compare the extent of such influence to that reported in the second language acquisition (SLA) literature. Additionally, by comparing children from different L1 backgrounds, we aim to see if typological distance impacts crosslinguistic influence. We collected elicited speech samples from 16 Polish-English and 44 French-English children who have had dual language input from birth, but whose English is weaker mostly because it is absent outside the home environment. The crosslinguistic error rates (an average of 6%) are lower for our participants than averages found in SLA literature, but still considerably high. Although French-and Polish-dominant children present comparable error profiles, the extent of crosslinguistic influence tends to be greater in the case of French-English bilinguals than for Polish-English bilinguals, which may reflect the perceived distance between the languages.

In this article we present findingsonhow language-typological and contrastive analyses are applicableinL3-acquisition, especially in the case of L3-German after English as L2. The starting point for the considerations are approaches from language typology, contrastive linguistics and multilingualism research and their interfaces: We examine how grammar is reflected in theories of multilingualisma nd L3-acquisition and explain the relationshipb etween multilingualisma nd teaching L3-German. In addition,w ep rovide language-typological and contrastived escriptionso fs elected propertieso fi nfinitive constructions in German, English and Hungarian.
