This research project aims to explore mechanisms of language change in the postcolonial multilingual Republic of Palau from both macro and micro perspectives. We investigated (a) to what extent and (b) in what way the two former colonial languages, Japanese and English, are used alongside indigenous language Palauan as well as (c) what linguistic and extra-linguistic factors are likely to affect speakers' language use.Our findings have made theoretical contributions to the field of contact sociolinguistics; in particular, leading to a better understanding of (a) the effects of so-called "strong and weak ties" upon language maintenance and shift, (b) the applicability of the Concentration Model to the obsolescence of Palauan Japanese as well as (c) the applicability of the Dynamic Model to American postcolonial Palauan English.

本研究旨在从宏观和微观两个角度探讨后殖民时期多语种帕劳共和国的语言变化机制。我们调查了(A)日语和英语这两种前殖民地语言在多大程度上和当地语言帕劳语一起使用，以及(C)哪些语言和非语言因素可能会影响说话者的语言使用。我们的发现为接触社会语言学领域做出了理论贡献，特别是有助于更好地理解(A)所谓的“强弱联系”对语言维持和转换的影响，(B)集中度模式对帕劳语日语的过时的适用性，以及(C)动态模式对美国后殖民帕劳语英语的适用性。
