    Third language acquisition is an area of increasing interest within applied linguistics and psycholinguistics as globalization has led to more multilingual societies. The study of third language acquisition is rapidly expanding and there is a biennial international conference focused on this topic, with the most recent held in 2005 in Switzerland. Researchers exploring language acquisition through the framework of Universal Grammar have also shown growing interest in third language acquisition in recent years.

    THIRD LANGUAGE ACQUISITION


    • Increased interest in the topic of
    multilingualism.

    Increasing movement of people (...)


    bilingualism and or multilingualism
    have become the norm of many
    societies rather than being an
    eceptional phenomenon' (Simsek
    2006:19)
    • The study of L3 is rapidly expanding,
    especially
    within applied linguistics, applied
    psycholinguistics, bilingualism
    and language education.
    • Marked by the
    biennial International Conference on Third
    Language Acquisition and
    Multilingualism, held for the fourth time in
    September 2005 in Fribourg
    and Biel, Switzerland. Notably, linguists who
    adopt Universal
    Grammar (UG) theory to address language
    acquisition have shown
    growing interest in L3 in the past three years.
