We are developing a computational framework for modeling language typology and understanding its role in second language acquisition. In particular, we are studying the cognitive and linguistic characteristics of cross-linguistic structure transfer by investigating the relations between the speakers’ native language properties and their usage patterns and mistakes in English.
