Sažetak

The study presented in this paper treats potential effective transfer as a strategy which can be a useful tool to point learners to cross-linguistic equivalencies with the purpose of facilitating learning. Using the example of modal particles and equivalent modalizing elements in Croatian, English, and German, the study investigates how many occurrences of potential transfer can be tracked in the cloze task answers of 136 Croatian students of German and English as a foreign language. In a qualitative analysis, the nature of potential effective transfer is determined and the relevant subtypes of transfer are defined. The learners’ first foreign language and all possible directions of possible transfer are also taken into account as relevant factors. Effective transfer is defined as the competence to correctly apply both the form and function of a particular linguistic element in performance in another language.
