{"abstract":"This study examined cross-linguistic influence (CLI) among trilingual learners of English, Filipino, and Mandarin, highlighting that managing three languages increases cognitive load and leads to occasional language-switching errors. Employing conversation-qualitative analysis and data triangulation, the research revealed patterns in language use across structured and spontaneous interactions. Thematic analysis showed that trilingual learners develop individualized strategies to navigate their linguistic environment, with code-switching between English and Filipino being a common practice based on communicative needs. CLI significantly shapes language-switching behaviors, as participants frequently shifted between English, Filipino, and Mandarin depending on communicative context, conversational partner, and interaction purpose. To navigate linguistic gaps, learners often relied on translation strategies across the three languages or resorted to gestures. These patterns underscore the dynamic and adaptive nature of language use, influenced by contextual, interpersonal, and goal-oriented factors. The study concluded that there are mixed patterns of CLI influence among trilingual learners, with results highlighting both positive and negative transfer affecting fluency in each language. Positive transfer occurs when prior language knowledge aids new language learning, while negative transfer (interference) causes confusion or errors.","abstract_source":"gemini_shortened","authors":["April Daleon","Raquel Sena"],"date":"2025-12-15","doi":"10.70838/pemj.500509","id":6889,"issue":5,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"42eed80d408058ee7ebee2d9f4d8ddfb1c680781c310105522dc34fc6a5b8111","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Cross-Linguistic Influence in Trilingual Switching","volume":50}
