Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
This collection of articles provides theoretical foundations and perspectives for language attrition research. Its purpose is to enable investigations of L1 attrition to avail themselves more fully and more fundamentally of the theoretical frameworks that have been formulated with respect to SLA and bilingualism. In the thirteen papers collected here, experts in particular disciplines of bilingualism, such as neurolinguistics, formal linguistics, contact linguistics and language and identity, provide an in-depth perspective on L1 attrition which will make the translation of theory to hypothesis easier for future research.

LANGUAGE ATTRITION AND EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES
Author: YU Zhonggen
Publisher: American Academic Press
ISBN: 1631817108
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Starting from studies on language attrition, this book goes deeper into the area of educational technologies. Considering that language attrition might be a reverse process of language acquisition, proper use of educational technologies could promote language acquisition but slow down or diminish language attrition. This book attempts to combine the threshold hypothesis and regression hypothesis with use of educational technologies so that language attrition could be hindered. Chinese Mandarin Attrition among Tertiary Students in Malaysia was identified to pave a solid way for researches on both threshold hypothesis and regression hypothesis. Language attrition in terms of mandarin Chinese, the threshold and regression hypotheses were also discussed in this monograph. This book also covers topics related to educational technologies such as clickers, QQ, multimedia, together with blended learning and indicators of satisfaction. This book includes in-depth reviews of literature and plentiful data to support the studies, which is worth reading. Readers will acquire something new in the fields of language attrition and educational technologies since few studies have been conducted combining these both areas.

First Language Attrition
Author: Monika S. Schmid
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027295271
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
This volume provides a state-of-the-art treatment of research on language attrition, the non-pathological loss of a language through lack of exposure. It combines a review of past and present research with in-depth treatments of specific theoretical and methodological issues and reports on individual studies. Special prominence is given to the identification of problematic areas in attrition research, with a view to pointing out possible solutions. The book specifically addresses itself to those who wish to acquaint themselves with the research area of language attrition, providing them with both a thorough overview of the field and a basis on which to build their own research. The combination of experience and an innovative outlook present in this collection, however, make it a valuable source for those familiar with attrition as well. Especially useful to both beginners and veterans is the extensive annotated bibliography.

Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192512196
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 768
Book Description
This volume is the first handbook dedicated to language attrition, the study of how a speaker's language may be affected by crosslinguistic interference and non-use. The effects of language attrition can be felt in all aspects of language knowledge, processing, and production, and can offer unique insights into the mind of bilingual language users. In this book, international experts in the field explore a comprehensive range of topics in language attrition, examining its theoretical implications, psycho- and neurolinguistic approaches, linguistic and extralinguistic factors, L2 attrition, and heritage languages. The chapters summarize current research and draw on insights from related fields such as child language development, language contact, language change, pathological developments, and second language acquisition.

Second Language Acquisition Abroad
Author: Lynne Hansen
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027281661
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
This volume brings together for the first time a collection of studies devoted to missionary language learning and retention. Introductory chapters provide historical perspectives on this population and on language teaching philosophy and practice in the LDS tradition. The empirical studies which follow are divided into two sections, the first examining mission language acquisition by English-speaking missionaries abroad, the second focusing on post-mission language attrition. These chapters by internationally known scholars offer cutting-edge research using a number of different target languages in addressing various issues in second language development. Finally, a comprehensive bibliography of sources on mission languages is included. The readership of this pioneering work is expected to extend beyond specialists in study abroad and missionary language training to a broader audience of applied linguists, educators, and students interested in language acquisition and attrition. In addition, the book offers useful insights to adults who want to maintain a second language.
