第一语言磨蚀是指在第一语言使用减少的情况下，第一语言在第二语言习得过程中所发生的变化（Cook，2003; Kopke，2004）。迄今为止，一些研究重点关注第一语言的完全丧失，例如，儿童在收养后与其最初语言的接触停止（Pallier等人，Ventureyra，Pallier，& Yoo，2004）。其他人研究了一些更微妙的情况，在这些情况下，L1发生了变化，尽管可理解性在很大程度上或完全不受影响（de Leeuw，Schmid，& Mennen，2007; Festival，1987; Festival & Eefting，1987; Major，1992; Mennen，2004）。本研究属于后一类，包括对10名后期连续德英双语者韵律的精细语音分析。总的来说，研究结果表明，在核前上升的语调排列L1的磨损。然而，人际关系的变化也证明：两个双语者在英语单语规范在他们的德国，而一个双语证明没有L1的摩擦。个体内部的变化发生在形式的核前上升的开始似乎经历更多的L1磨损比结束。结果进行了讨论，在以前的研究表明，L1摩擦是不太可能发生在后期连续双语比早期连续双语，更普遍的是，关于转让和干扰。
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; Kopke, 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 cases in which changes to the L1 occur, although intelligibility remains largely, or completely, unaffected (de Leeuw, Schmid, & Mennen, 2007; Flege, 1987; Flege & Eefting, 1987; Major, 1992; Mennen, 2004). The study at hand belongs to the latter category, comprising a fine phonetic analysis of prosody in 10 late consecutive German-English bilinguals. In general, the results indicate L1 attrition in the intonational alignment of the prenuclear rise. However, interpersonal variation was also evidenced: two bilinguals performed clearly within the English monolingual norm in their German while one bilingual evidenced no L1 attrition. Intrapersonal variation occurred in the form of the start of the prenuclear rise appearing to undergo more L1 attrition than the end. The results are discussed in relation to previous studies suggesting that L1 attrition is less likely to occur in late consecutive bilinguals than in early consecutive bilinguals and, more generally, with regard to transfer and interference.
