This process is generally caused by both isolation from speakers of the first language and the acquisition and use of a second language, which interferes with the correct production and comprehension of the first. R1.gif' alt='Becoming Interdisciplinary An Introduction To Interdisciplinary Studies Pdf' title='Becoming Interdisciplinary An Introduction To Interdisciplinary Studies Pdf' />Such interference from a second language is likely experienced to some extent by all bilinguals, but is most evident among speakers for whom a language other than their first has started to play an important, if not dominant, role in everyday life these speakers are at a higher risk for experiencing language attrition. A notable example of this is found in immigrants, who may move to a country in which a language foreign to them is spoken, and go on to use that later learned environmental language in their daily lives. Their gradual decline in proficiency in their first language, or L1, resulting from both isolation from other speakers of their L1 and interference from the L2 they are acquiring, is considered language attrition. There are a number of factors which may affect the process of L1 attrition. Frequent exposure and use of a particular language is often assumed adequate to maintain the native language system intact.

A positive attitude towards the potentially attriting language or its speech community and motivation to retain the language are other factors which may reduce the effects of attrition. This factor too is difficult to confirm by research. However, age of the attriter can well predict the likelihood of attrition children are demonstrably more likely to lose their first language than adults. All of these potential or proven factors are similar to those that affect second language acquisition, and the two processes are sometimes compared. However, the overall impact of these factors is far less strongly pronounced than what has been found in second language acquisition. Language attrition results in a decrease of language proficiency from what was previously acquired. The current consensus is that attrition manifests itself first and most noticeably in the vocabulary knowledge of speakers in their lexical access and their mental lexicon78 while grammatical and especially phonological representations appear more stable among speakers for whom emigration took place after puberty. The term first language attrition FLA refers to the gradual decline in native language proficiency. As speakers use their L2 frequently and become proficient or even dominant in it, some aspects of the L1 can deteriorate or become subject to L2 influence. The study of language attrition became a subfield of linguistics with a 1. An introduction to the work of Stephen Krashen.

The aim of the conference was to discuss areas of second language, or L2, attrition and to ideate on possible future research. The conference revealed that attrition is a wide topic, with numerous factors and taking many forms. Decades later, the field of first language attrition gained new momentum with two conferences held in Amsterdam in 2. International Symposium on Bilingualism 2. European Second Language Association, and the AILA World Congress 2. The outcomes of some of these meetings were later published in edited volumes. To study the process of language attrition, researchers initially looked at neighboring areas of linguistics to identify which parts of the L1 system attrite first lacking years of experimental data of attrition itself, linguists studied language contact, creolization, L2 acquisition, and aphasia, and applied their findings to language acquisition. One issue that is faced when researching attrition is distinguishing between normal L2 influence on the L1 and actual attrition of the L1. Since all bilinguals experience some degree of cross linguistic influence, where the L2 interferes with the retrieval of the speakers L1, it is difficult to determine if delays andor mistakes in the L1 are due to attrition or cause by CLI. Also, simultaneous bilinguals may not have a language that is indistinguishable from that of a native speaker or a language where their knowledge of it is less extensive than a native speakers therefore testing for attrition is difficult. L1 attriters, like L2 learners, may use language differently from native speakers. In particular, they can have variability on certain rules which native speakers apply deterministically. In the context of attrition, however, there is strong evidence that this optionality is not indicative of any underlying representational deficits the same individuals do not appear to encounter recurring problems with the same kinds of grammatical phenomena in different speech situations or on different tasks. This suggests that problems of L1 attriters are due to momentary conflicts between the two linguistic systems and not indicative of a structural change to underlying linguistic knowledge that is, to an emerging representational deficit of any kind. This assumption is in line with a range of investigations of L1 attrition which argue that this process may affect interface phenomena e. Clothing For The Sims 2. ManifestationseditLexical attritioneditThe first linguistic system to be affected by first language attrition is the lexicon. The lexical semantic relationship usually starts to deteriorate first and most quickly, driven by Cross Linguistic Interference CLI from the attriters L2, and it is believed to be exacerbated by continued exposure to, and frequent use of, the L2. Evidence for such interlanguage effects can be seen in a study by Pavlenko 2. L2, which was English, into the L1 Russian speakers lexicons. In order to test for lexical attrition, researchers use tests such as picture naming tasks, where they place a picture of an item in front of the participant and ask them to name it, or by measuring lexical diversity in the speakers spontaneous speech speech that is unprompted and improvised. In both cases, attriters performed worse than non attriters. One hypothesis suggests that when a speaker tries to access a lexical item from their L1 they are also competing with the translation equivalents of their L2 and that there is either a problem with activating the L1 due to infrequent use or with the inhibition of the competing L2. Grammatical attritioneditGrammatical attrition can be defined as the disintegration of the structure of a first language L1 in contact situations with a second language L2. In a study of bilingual Swedes raised outside of Sweden, who in their late twenties returned to their home country for schooling, there was noted to be attrition of the their L1. The participants demonstrated a complete retention of the underlying syntactic structure of their L1. Notably, they exhibited the V2, verb second, word order present in most Germanic languages, except English. This rule requires the tense marked verb of a main clause to occur in the second position of the sentence, even if that means it comes before the subject e. These speakers ability to form sentences with V2 word order was compared against L2 learners who often overproduce the rigid SVO word order rather than applying the V2 rule. Although the study did not show evidence for attrition of syntax of the persons L1, there was evidence for attrition in the expatriates morphology, especially in terms of agreement.
