Summary

The aim of the chapter is to first discuss the theoretical motivations for Full Transfer as well as some methodological considerations one needs to adopt when testing whether there is Full or property-by-property transfer in L3/Ln acquisition. The chapter then provides an overview of two clusters of studies providing some empirical evidence towards Full Transfer at the initial stages of L3/Ln acquisition. The first cluster of studies examined is that of the acquisition of Brazilian Portuguese by bilingual English–Spanish speakers, illustrating how bringing together these 16 studies can be helpful when evaluating the tenets of the theoretical proposals that predict Full Transfer. The second is that of Catalan–Spanish bilinguals acquiring L3 English. By reviewing these seven different studies, it is shown how Full Transfer applies in cases where structural similarity between the Lx/Ly and L3 is not straightforward. The chapter ends by suggesting some directions for future research.
