词汇通达性和词汇多样性常被认为是第一语言磨蚀的主要影响因素。单语者和非浸入式双语者之间的差异也很大。这就提出了一个问题，即词汇损耗是否可以归因于不使用或两种语言之间的竞争。我们比较了两个人口的后期L2学习者荷兰生活在荷兰。其中一个人在移民之前基本上只讲一种语言（土耳其移民），而另一个人来自一个高度多语言的社会（摩洛哥）。虽然这两个实验人群应该受到侵蚀，由于不使用，我们预计竞争的影响将更加强烈的单语与多语种的基线人口相比，明显。结果表明，情况并非如此，摩洛哥组的减员效应甚至比土耳其组更强。此外，磨损者的接触频率或语言态度的个人测量没有影响。我们的结论是，沉浸在一个L2的环境导致削弱词汇通达。
Lexical access and lexical diversity are often assumed to be vulnerable to first language (L1) attrition. They also differ between monolinguals and nonimmersed bilinguals. This raises the question whether lexical attrition can be ascribed to nonuse or to competition between the two languages. We compare two populations of late L2 learners of Dutch living in the Netherlands. One of them was largely monolingual prior to emigration (Turkish migrants), while the other comes from a highly multilingual society (Morocco). While both experimental populations should be affected by erosion due to nonuse, we expect competition effects to be more strongly pronounced when compared against a monolingual versus a multilingual baseline population. The results show that this is not the case with attrition effects being even stronger in the Moroccan group than in the Turkish group. Furthermore, there is no impact of individual measures of frequency of exposure or language attitudes among the attriters. We conclude that being immersed in an L2 environment leads to weakening of lexical access.
