Previous research examining the factors that determine language choice and voluntary
switching mainly involved early bilinguals. Here, using picture naming, we investigated …

Aims and Objectives: In this paper, a novel approach to the distinction between borrowing
and code-switching is proposed, called the Simple View of borrowing and code-switching …

Bilinguals dynamically activate lexical items in one or both languages depending on a
number of factors. We explored the interaction effects of semantic constraints, language …

Variation in the ways by which an individual processes codeswitched language may reveal
fundamental dynamics of the language system that are otherwise obscured under unilingual …

Bilinguals are generally adept at segregating their two competing languages and switching
between them when contextually appropriate, although it has been shown that switching …

Abstract Mixed languages like Media Lengua incorporate grammar from one source
language (here, Quichua) but lexicon from another (here, Spanish). Due to their linguistic …

Research into how bilinguals process codeswitched language is based largely on non-
codeswitching bilinguals (ie Kootstra, van Hell, & Dijkstra, 2010), although there are …

Switch costs are generally found in language switching tasks. However, the locus where
switch costs occur during bilingual language production remains unclear. Several studies …

Contact Linguistics is a critical investigation of what happens to the grammars of languages
when bilingual speakers use both their languages in the same clause. It consolidates earlier …

Bilinguals in the presence of other bilinguals engage in codeswitching, the fluid and
intentional alternation between languages during bilingual speech or text. Codeswitching …
