Annotation

This assay explored phonological attrition in 10 native Albanian speakers who learned Standard Southern British English (SSBE) as a second language (L2) in London, U.K..The results state that phonological attrition in native speech output is potential in late L2 acquisition, albeit not unavoidable.
