La séparation linguistique chez les enfants bilingues
L’existence d’idées préconçues sur la capacité des enfants bilingues à séparer leurs langues, ainsi que sur la manière dont les parents devraient gérer le bilinguisme dans leur famille afin d’éviter les confusions, est un fait bien établi. De manière générale, ces idées sont soit incorrectes, soit il n’est pas possible de les justifier en raison d’un manque de connaissance sur la séparation des langues chez les enfants bilingues. Grâce à l’échogr…
Style-shifting in Multicultural London English in an all-girls homework club
This study investigated whether and how pre-adolescent girls style-shift in Multicultural London English (MLE), a variety of English that is relatively new and potentially still changing. We looked at the extent to which five 11-year-old girls in a homework club in East London, where MLE is spoken, changed their pronunciations in different speech contexts. The results showed that the girls did indeed change their pronunciations in the different c…

Dynamics of first language attrition across the lifespan
This special issue explores the relevance of Dynamic Systems Theory ( henceforth DST) to research in first language attrition (henceforth LI attrition). While research in LI attrition has traditionally drawn on paradigms in other areas of linguistic enquiry, e.g. approaches current in L2 acquisition studies, important developments across a range of disciplines have paved the way for a fundamen- tally different conceptualisation of language develo…
Dynamic systems, maturational constraints and L1 phonetic attrition
The present study comprises a phonetic analysis of the lateral phoneme /l/ in the first (L1) and second language (L2) of 10 late German–English bilinguals. The primary objective of the study was to compare the predictive power of dynamic systems theory with that of maturational constraints through a phonetic investigation of L1 attrition in the lateral phoneme /l/ of the late bilinguals. The results revealed L1 attrition in the lateral phoneme /l…
Singing a different tune in your native language
First language attrition refers to the changes which a first language (L1) undergoes when a second language (L2) is acquired in a context in which L1 use is reduced (Cook, 2003; Köpke, 2004). To date, some studies have focused on complete loss of an L1, for example in the case of children whose contact with their initial language ceased after adoption (Pallier et al., 2003; Ventureyra, Pallier, & Yoo, 2004). Others have investigated more subtle c…
The effects of contact on native language pronunciation in an L2 migrant setting
The primary aim of this study was to determine whether native speakers of German living in either Canada or the Netherlands are perceived to have a foreign accent in their native German speech. German monolingual listeners (n = 19) assessed global foreign accent of 34 L1 German speakers in Anglophone Canada, 23 L1 German speakers in the Dutch Netherlands, and five German monolingual controls in Germany. The experimental subjects had moved to eith…
Hesitation Markers in English, German, and Dutch
This study reports on a number of highly significant differences found between English, German, and Dutch hesitation markers. English and German native speakers used significantly more vocalic-nasal hesitation markers than Dutch native speakers, who used predominantly vocalic hesitation markers. English hesitation markers occurred most frequently when preceded by silence and followed by a lexical item, or when surrounded by silence. German and Du…
