Resum
Linguistics covers a wide range of phenomena that evolve at the same speed that languages do. Some linguistic phenomena such as the attrition have been confused with other phenomena and have received different names due to the contact with other languages. For this reason, a thorough study about this phenomenon deems suitable. This encompasses: the choice of the word atrición as the translation of attrition, its definition, the circumstances needed for attrition to happen, the different types of attrition and a comparison of attrition with other linguistic phenomena. This exploration concludes with the fact that attrition is the correct term as it perfectly defines this linguistic phenomenon that, not being a new phenomenon, it is increasingly topical due to migration and globalization.
