Literature Review on Language Attrition Causes: Word Frequency, and Identity and Belongings
Lan Y. Mao
Abstract—Language attrition is the phenomenon of
degradation and forgetting of the learning outcomes of language
learners. This paper focuses on analyzing the factors influencing
the emergence of language attrition in language users and
language learners by summarizing previous empirical and
qualitative studies . It finds that the influencing factors are
divided into two main categories, including intralinguistic and
extralinguistic factors. The former refers mainly to word
frequency and the latter mostly indicates people’s quest for
identity and a sense of belonging. And In order to fully analyze
the effects of these factors on linguistic attrition, the author
respectively discusses the mother tongue attrition and the
second language in the first language environment and also in
the second environment. Therefore, language change is the
result of a combination of multifaceted factors. So this finding
can expand the study of language and put forward suggestions
on language teaching reform.
