Reviews

This is a masterpiece that surpasses all other books in its treatment of both the historical dimensions and linguistic intricacies of language transfer. It corrects the record on several past claims related to transfer and illuminates the conditions under which crosslinguistic influence is most likely to be found. Everyone who works in this area needs to read this book. * Scott Jarvis, University of Utah, USA *
