Abstract:

'Language attrition' describes the loss of, or changes to, grammatical and other 
features of a language as a result of declining use by speakers who have 
changed their linguistic environment and language habits. In such a situation 
there may, for example, be simplification in the tense system or in certain 
properties of subordinate clauses; some vocabulary items might fall into disuse 
and phonetic features may be restructured. These changes can be affected by 
features of the speaker's environment, but also by his or her attitudes and 
processes of identification. This book provides a detailed and up-to-date 
introduction to the way in which language attrition can affect language, as well 
as to the extra- and sociolinguistic features involved. It also familiarizes the 
reader with experimental approaches to attrition and data analysis techniques 
and provides hands-on guidelines on how to apply them.
