After three years of intensive research, language transfer phenom- ena emerged as a major field of investigation to which all scientists from differ- ent disciplines contributed interesting and relevant results to the ongoing debate of language learning and multilingualism. Although the research questions and goals differed widely in the interdisciplinary groups at the inception of the project, it soon became apparent that we all seemed to converge on questions directed towards language transfer. In fact, research on positive transfer effects crystallized as a unifying element in the daily interdisciplinary work. It is this development that lit the spark for not only documenting our results, but also putting them directly into an international context with recognized scholars in this field. Thus, we would like to contrast and to refine, to question and to supplement ongoing scholarly work in language learning theory and practice. The volume could not possibly have reached its high standards of quality with- out the conscientious work of the reviewers.
