- 요약Current third language (L3) acquisition research has made significant advances, yet critical gaps remain. First, studies have predominantly examined categorical structures using accuracy-based methods, with less attention to inherently variable structures, which are fundamental to natural language use. Second, research on transfer patterns has largely focused on Indo-European language triads. Third, investigations of bilingualism's effects have examined vocabulary/phonology at single proficiency levels, leaving grammatical development understudied. Additionally, while the variationist approach has proven powerful in second language (L2) acquisition, their application to L3 research remains limited despite their potential to reveal nuanced patterns.This dissertation addresses these gaps through investigating Spanish variable anaphoric direct object acquisition by first language (L1) Mandarin, L2 English speakers, employing a variationist approach to analyze learners' variant preferences and relevant linguistic constraints. Data were collected via naturalness judgment tasks and compared against three native baselines (Mandarin, N = 24; English, N = 38; Spanish, N = 27). Regarding transfer patterns of L3 Spanish beginning-stage learners (N = 50), no robust L1 Mandarin transfer emerged, challenging the Default L1 Transfer Hypothesis. Transfer from L2 English to L3 Spanish was modulated by L2 proficiency and structural granularity, which cannot be fully explained by the L2 Status Factor or the Typological Primacy Model. Developmental comparisons between Mandarin-L1, English-L2, Spanish-L3 learners (N = 78) and English-L1 Spanish-L2 learners (N = 113) demonstrate indirect L1 facilitation, and a bilingual disadvantage in discourse feature acquisition, potentially suggesting trilingual cognitive demands prioritize semantic over discourse processing.This dissertation makes several contributions to L3 acquisition research. Theoretically, it reveals transfer mechanisms modulated by L2 proficiency and structural granularity (formalized in the proposed Dynamic Filtering Framework) and nuanced bilingual effects. Methodologically, it establishes variationist analysis as essential for capturing gradient L2 interlanguage patterns in studying transfer patterns. It also bridges variationist sociolinguistics and L3 research, providing robust evidence of variable grammar transfer. The L2-L3 comparison of grammatical development suggests potential costs of bilingualism with discourse processing. Future directions include exploring underlying mechanisms of proficiency/structure constraints, employing longitudinal designs and production tasks, and testing diverse language triads and structures, to further uncover L3 acquisition patterns.
