Abstract
This article presents a case study investigating, by means of a DST (Dynamic Systems Theory) perspective, the effects of orthography on L2 (French) – L3 (English) processing during a task of lexical access measuring reaction time. Apart from suggesting the prevalence of grapho-phonic-phonological transfer from L2 into L3, the results also provide evidence of grapho-phonic-phonological transfer from L3 into L2. Such results are in consonance with the dynamic approach to cognition, enabling the interaction between previous knowledge from L1 and L2 and the knowledge of a new L3. Key words: multilingualism, L2-L3 phonetic-phonological transfer, orthography effects.
