Summary
This chapter aims to contribute to further understanding of the acquisition of speech from a multilingual perspective by offering a state-of-the-art overview of findings and discussing methodological considerations in research on L3 phonological acquisition. As the discipline grows, the methodologies employed advance, yet certain aspects continue to pose a challenge, including divergent research designs; varied types of L3 learners; comprehensive measures of multilingual production and perception, and phonological proficiency assessment. From a theoretical perspective, the applicability of the established L3 morphosyntactic models to phonological data is critically evaluated and alternative explanatory approaches are discussed. Further, the chapter focuses on new insights into the field by overviewing findings from a longitudinal “Multi-Phon” project on crosslinguistic influence in multilingual phonological acquisition. Finally, some avenues for further research in the area are suggested.
