This paper deals with cross-linguistic influence (CLI) in early trilingualism involving the languages German, English and Farsi. The data come from the case study of the author’s two children growing up in a trilingual family within a monolingual German-speaking environment. Specific types of CLI from the nondominant language Farsi on German and English are explained as being triggered by structural features of Farsi that cater to general cognitive tendencies towards iconicity and transparency, thus providing a unifying conceptual explanation for what may be termed minority influence
