Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, University of Erfurt (Philosophische Fakultät, Fachbereich Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Early Second Language Acquisition, language: English, abstract: Generally, the idea is that languages of distant origins, such as English and many Asian languages, do not share many features and structures as they did not develop from the same roots. The present paper aims to analyze the transfer that occurs especially in those language combinations. Three studies are examined regarding the L1s of the subjects and the transfer types that can be observed. The main research question is the following: What types of transfer can be observed with English as a second language (ESL) learners whose L1s are not closely related to English as the target language?
