The analysis is based on a corpus of narrative and argumentative texts in L1 and L2 and a language awareness test to explore semantic, pragmatic, and textual knowledge that was administered in both langua…

The article focuses on attrition phenomena in a specific relic variety, i.e. Barossa German, a German-speaking enclave in S…
