What can we learn about phonological knowledge from users of three or more languages? In this talk, I will report on recent and ongoing work in my lab examining phonological systems through the lens of multilingualism. Drawing upon data from production and/or perception of English, German, Mandarin, Spanish, Thai, and Yoruba, the talk will address the dynamics of progressive and regressive cross-linguistic influence at the phonological level among one's first, second, and third languages, as well as implications for theories of speech perception, language acquisition, and language typology.
