Abstract

PINTO, Jorge. Transferências lexicais na aquisição de português como língua terceira ou língua adicional: Um estudo com alunos universitários em Marrocos. Diacrítica [online]. 2012, vol.26, n.1, pp.172-188. ISSN 0807-8967.

The last decade has witnessed an increasing interest in multilingualism and, consequently, a proliferation of studies about the acquisition of a third or additional language (L3/Ln). These studies highlight the differences between the acquisition of an L2 and an L3 and bring about a new research area. In this context, it is our intention to present a study about the lexical acquisition of Portuguese as an L3/Ln by Moroccan university students, who are already inserted in a multilingual context, in which we point out the importance of transfer from a previously acquired second language to the new interlanguage and the factors that influence this transfer. The results show us that the L1 does not always have a preponderant role in the multilingual acquisition.

Keywords : acquisition of a third or additional language; lexical transfer; multilingualism; Portuguese as a foreign language.
