The paper reports the results of a pilot experiment carried out by De Wit (2008), investigating the acquisition of French wh-questions by Dutch L2-learners. The results of the experiment (an elicited production task) offer strong evidence for positive and negative transfer. Interestingly, however, the data also suggest the existence of interlanguage grammars that make use of positive transfer, while filtering out the effects of negative transfer.
