Dear all,
The Language Attrition Network invites you to our next session on the
24th of February at 2pm CET (1pm UK time) on Microsoft Teams.
If you are not yet on the mailing list, please send us an e-mail to
attrition.network at gmail.com
We will discuss the paper entitled "Language Attrition Network: Is
first language attrition possible without second language knowledge?"
with the presence of the authors.
Abstract: The study explores whether Russian immigrants in Israel with
no knowledge of Hebrew (L2) can experience attrition of Russian (L1).
Immigrants with no knowledge of Hebrew (−Hebrew), bilingual immigrants
who know Russian and Hebrew (+Hebrew), and monolingual controls were
compared on lexical retrieval, correctness judgment of collocations,
future tense formation, confidence in providing answers to two tasks
and the time it took to complete them. Both immigrant groups showed
signs of L1 attrition of collocations and of future tense formation,
and the –Hebrew group performed significantly worse than +Hebrew group
on future tense formation. The three groups did not differ in
time-on-task. The –Hebrew group was less confident than the other
groups in one task. Low and significant correlations were found
between some sociolinguistic factors and test results. We conclude
that first language attrition can occur both when immigrants acquire a
second language and when they remain monolingual.
