Summary

Taking the notion of L1 plasticity as a point of departure, this chapter explores the logical prediction that an L3 influence can influence an L1 and L2. After an overview of relevant L1 attrition research and the predictions it yields for L3 influence on existing systems, I pivot to two primary research questions that are central to L3 effects on an L1 and/or L2: (1) Does an L3 affect an L2 (quantitatively and qualitatively) differently than it affects an L1? and (2) Can an L3 have facilitative effects on an L2? I review the foundational research that underlies these lines of inquiry and follow with outstanding questions stemming from this research and discussion of how we might model attrition in multilingualism. I conclude with key methodological considerations, highlighting the need to draw further from experimental approaches used in L1 attrition as a complement to L3-specific methods.
