Reviews

In this bold and pioneering interdisciplinary study experts on SLA research, computational analysis and statistics collaborate trying to identify the L1 background of non-native writers. The result is a most impressive work which will take the field of crosslinguistic studies a long way forward. A MUST for all SLA researchers! Hakan Ringbom, Emeritus Professor, Abo Akademi University, Finland This is an articulate, comprehensive, and timely volume on a fascinating yet largely underexplored area. Jarvis and Crossley have produced an impressive collection of research-based evidence on language transfer using a corpus-based approach. The volume is a must-have for students, scholars, and practitioners interested in language transfer, corpus linguistics, forensic linguistics, text classification, second language writing, error analysis, and language assessment. Pavel Trofimovich, Concordia University, Canada
