Grammatical Constraints on Intra-sentential Code-Switching: From Theories to Working Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We make one of the first attempts to build working models for intra-sentential code-switching based on the EquivalenceConstraint (Poplack, 1980) and MatrixLanguage (Myers-Scotton, 1993) theories. We conduct a detailed theoretical analysis, and a small-scale empirical study of the two models for Hindi-English CS. Our analyses show that the models are neither sound nor complete. Taking insights from the errors made by the models, we propose a new model that combines features of both the theories.

The Effect of Intra-sentential, Inter-sentential and Tag- sentential Switching on Teaching Grammar
The present study examined the comparative effect of different types of code-switching, i.e., intrasentential,inter-sentential, and tag-sentential switching on EFL learners grammar learning andteaching. To this end, a sample of 60 Iranian female and male students in two different institutionsin Qazvin was selected. They were assigned to four groups. Each group was randomly assigned toone of the...
متن کاملAn overview of Myers-Scotton’s Matrix Language Frame model
1 Background The alternation of two languages inside and outside of sentences –codeswitching (CS hereafter) has been studied mainly from two perspectives, i.e. grammatical/syntactic and pragmatic/discourse (Romaine, 1995). Although these two aspects are related and a knowledge of one helps understand the other (Myers-Scotton, 2002:Chapter 2), because of a limit in space, I will focus on the str...
متن کاملThe effect of Code switching on the Acquisition of Object Relative Clauses by Iranian EFL Learners
This study attempted to investigate the impact of teacher’s code-switching on the acquisition of a problematic grammatical structure, namely, object relative clauses, by intermediate EFL learners. Moreover, a secondary objective of the study was to determine the EFL learners’ attitudes and opinions regarding the effectiveness of teacher’s code-switching in their learning of a specific aspect of...
متن کاملCode-Switching speech recognition for closely related languages
This work presents an approach to recognition of multispeaker conversational speech with code-switching between Ukrainian and Russian languages. Both inter-sentential and intra-sentential code-switching is handled. The approach takes into account peculiarities of phonetic systems of the closely related Russian and Ukrainian languages. A crosslingual LVCSR system is developed. The acoustic model...
متن کاملProcessing Of Sentences With Intra-Sentential Code-Switching
Speakers of certain bilingual communities systematically produce utterances in whichthey switch from one language to another, suggesting that the two language systems syst~matically interact with each other in the production (and reoognitlon) of these sentences. We have investigated this phenomenon in a formal or computational framework which consists of two gramnatical systems and a mechanism ...
