Language transfer
In this interview, Terence Odlin reflects on the concept of language transfer and its significance for second language acquisition. He addresses difficulties in defining transfer and clarifies misconceptions about its historical and theoretical origins, particularly in relation to contrastive analysis and behaviourism. Odlin reviews evidence of transfer across linguistic domains, including morphology, syntax, discourse, pragmatics, phonology, and semantics, and highlights the role of perception, cognition, and individual variation. The interview concludes with implications for translation, language teaching, and future research on crosslinguistic influence.
