Second Language Attrition in Japanese Contexts by Lynne Hansen (Professor of Linguistics, Professor of Linguistics, Brigham and Young University, Hawaii)
This volume introduces the study of language attrition - the forgetting of language. In this first collection devoted to second language attrition, the contributors focus on contexts of loss where Japanese is either the attriting language, or the replacing language. Bringing together research to substantiate previous hypotheses in the field, this book offers new theoretical and practical insights for those interested in language change.
