A Survey of Language Attrition Studies

This article presents a review of language attrition research, including its main themes and significance, problems and difficulties as well as its early developments and present situation. The author stresses that, as attrition is the co product of acquisition and interwoven with it, language acquisition research should not neglect data from language attrition. In view of the influence of environmental factors on language attrition and the negative impact of non cognate language upon language acquisition, studies of language attrition caused by the linguistic environment of the Chinese language may have special implications for foreign language teaching in China.
