Summary:

Contributors identified only by name, presumably linguists, explain some methods being used to study influences between languages now that interest in such influence has expanded beyond how first languages shape second languages. The topics include multilinguals versus bilinguals and their perceptions of cognates, cross-linguistic interaction and meta-linguistic awareness in third language acquisition, measuring meta-linguistic analysis among multilingual advanced learners of English as a foreign language by testing their perception of proposition errors in semantically correct versus erroneous contexts, and phonology in third and additional language acquisition.
