About

    Cross-linguistic influence refers to the phenomenon where knowledge or proficiency in one language affects a person's acquisition, comprehension, or production of another language. This can occur in various ways, such as transfer of vocabulary, grammar structures, phonetic features, or even cultural norms from one language to another. Research in this area aims to better understand how different languages interact and influence each other in bilingual or multilingual individuals, and how this can impact language learning and processing. By studying cross-linguistic influence, researchers can gain insights into the mechanisms underlying bilingualism and language acquisition.
