Detection-Based Approaches: Methods, Theories and Applications 330 $aRecent work has pointed to the need for a detection-based approach to transfer capable of discovering elusive crosslinguistic effects through the use of human judges and computer classifiers that can learn to predict learners? language backgrounds based on their patterns of language use. This book addresses that need. It details the nature of the detection-based approach, discusses how this approach fits into the overall scope of transfer research, and discusses the few previous studies that have laid the groundwork for this approach. The core of the book consists of five empirical studies that use computer classifiers to detect the native-language affiliations of texts written by foreign language learners of English. The results highlight combinations of language features that are the most reliable predictors of learners? language backgrounds. 410 0$aSecond language acquisition (Clevedon, England) ;$v64. 606 $aLanguage transfer (Language learning) 606 $aEnglish language$xRhetoric$xStudy and teaching 610 $acomputer classifiers to detect language background. 610 $acrosslinguistic influence in SLA. 610 $acrosslinguistic influence. 610 $adetection-based approach. 610 $alearners? native-language backgrounds. 610 $atransfer in SLA. 610 $atransfer in language learning. 615 0$aLanguage transfer (Language learning) 615 0$aEnglish language$xRhetoric$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a401/.93 686 $aES 760$2rvk 701 $aJarvis$b Scott$f1966-$01622357 701 $aCrossley$b Scott A$01622358 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818164403321 996 $aApproaching language transfer through text classification$93956180 997 $aUNINA
