Abstract

Language attrition is a reverse process of language learning. Language attrition is caused by many factors and the available information, including the summary of the level before abrasion, erosion of time, the target language exposure, age, foreign language learning, emotional factors and literacy (NI Chuanbin, 2006). Language attrition and language acquisition are the two processes of learning language and both mutually demise, and some scholars have drawn a conclusion that language acquisition and language attrition have a significant negative correlation mutually. The traditional theory of language acquisition, based on the linear theory, explains that language learning is a chronological order from easy to difficult, and gradually improved. Researchers who focus language attrition have proposed the theory of dynamic systems, emphasizing the language system interaction with the environment and continuing to carry out their own adjustments and changes, and also more emphasis has been evolving constitute language system.
