Abstract

This article provides updated perspectives on research related to conceptual transfer, which is defined as crosslinguistic influence arising from language-specific concepts and patterns of conceptualization. I discuss the historical roots of conceptual transfer, its relationship to linguistic relativity and thinking for speaking, its core assumptions, and its current scope of inquiry. While discussing its scope of inquiry, I review some of the key findings in this area of research as well as some of the recent studies that have expanded its scope. I conclude with a summary of five important points that can be drawn from the existing research on conceptual transfer, and I offer suggestions for future directions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
