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.
