Directory         1.     Robert McColl Millar , Lexical attrition in Silesia and Okinawa Message 1: Lexical attrition in Silesia and Okinawa Date: 17-Oct-2011 From: Robert McColl Millar <r.millarabdn.ac.uk> Subject: Lexical attrition in Silesia and Okinawa E-mail this message to a friend I am presently putting together a bid for funding for a project dealing with lexical attrition where the dialect under threat is a (close) relative of the language of state. The project is intended to extend beyond Europe. At present I am considering the Scots of Orkney (in relation to Scottish Standard English), Silesian dialect (in relation to Standard Polish) and Okinawan (in relation to Standard Japanese). If you know of work done on lexical attrition in Silesian or Okinawan or you would be interested in collaboration, please let me know.
