Abstract
Language attrition is a bilingual phenomenon, which covers regression in language representation
and processing when language is not used for a certain period of time. Yet, little is known about
foreign language attrition and attrition in pronunciation. This pilot study explores the first signs
of language attrition processes in the pronunciation of six Polish adult learners of German who
have not used German for two months. Two groups on levels B1 and C2 are examined on the
basis of a reading task. The case proves the occurrence of attrition and reveals its symptoms.
The findings also suggest a positive correlation between high level of language proficiency
and possible prevention of attrition. The results are briefly discussed in light of the Activation
Threshold Model (Paradis 2004, 2007) and the Regression Hypothesis. Finally, some implications
for glottodidactics are offered in the article.
