| Popis: | The present thesis investigates first language attrition on the level of phonetics, specifically the voice onset times of Czech expatriates living in Anglophone countries and advanced Czech students of English residing in the Czech Republic. First, it is questioned whether first language attrition occurs only in a migration context or whether it is possible for it to occur to advanced language learners still residing in their native environment. The results show non-monolingual like behaviour in both groups, however, of a different kind. Students drifted further from the English paradigm in the VOT of their L1 while expatriates drew closer to it. The results replicate what some other researchers found and suggests that L2 immersion environment determines the kind of crosslinguistic influence but is not conditional to L1 attrition, defined as diversion from the monolingual standard. The thesis also questions whether more frequent and variable L1 use decreases first language attrition, suggesting that it does, however, only partially and only in lenis plosives and not in fortis plosives. |
