Abstract

Speakers of certain bilingual communities systematically produce utterances in which they switch from one language to another, suggesting that the two language systems systematically interact with each other in the production (and recognition) of these sentences. We have investigated this phenomenon in a formal or computational framework which consists of two grammatical systems and a mechanism for switching between the two systems. A variety of constraints apparent in these sentences are then explained in terms of constraints on the switching mechanism, especially, those on closed class items.
