テーマ　：　When multilingualism is more than three languages

要　旨　：　L3 acquisition research tends to focus on three languages of multilingual learners. A closer look, however, might reveal that participants know additional languages (L+), whose influence on the newly acquired language can arguably be discarded due to low proficiency or dialects status. However, the potential effects of L(3)+ have not been investigated systematically, so far. Herein, we present a study on lexical gender transfer with speaker who know German (L1), English (L2), French (L3) and Italian (L4). The L1 German participants have acquired English as L2₁ at school, French as L2₂ and Italian as L2₃ (some with additional Latin). They are now exposed to nouns in French Provencal, L2₄, which bear obvious similarities with French, Italian, or both, so participants can guess the meanings of these nouns. Their task is to assign lexical gender (feminine or masculine) to them. In this setting, participants have three potential transfer sources: German, French, Italian, arguably also English. Numerous factors, linguistic and non-linguistic, can be relevant. Besides recency and proficiency, these include at least gender (mis)matches wrt the translation equivalents in previously acquired languages, the structural distance/similarity between these nouns (measured by Levenshtein distance), and knowledge of the genders in the background languages. Results show clear effects of structural similarity, some effects of proficiency and multilingual strategies that are all but surface transfer. Results are discussed in terms of current L3 models.
