Possessives in interlingual Comparison and from the Learner's Perspective

Project duration: 4/1/2016–12/31/2021

The project deals with the influences of the first language (L1) on the second language (L2). It adopts a comparative linguistic perspective. The focus is on the second language acquisition of reflexive and non-reflexive pronouns in different languages such as German, English, Norwegian, Polish and Czech. The main aim of the research project is to gain access to the influence of Czech as L1 on the acquisition of German or Norwegian as L2. Offline questionnaires and the eye-tracking method are used for this purpose.
