Chapter 14. Structural approaches to code-switching
-
Almeida Jacqueline Toribio
Abstract
The present contribution reflects on the competing disciplinary, ideological, and methodological tensions in the study of bilingual code-switching and advocates for a data-driven structural approach to the patterns of language mixing attested across language pairings and Speech communities. More specifically, the chapter argues for the benefits of corpus and computational techniques in yielding reliable and replicable findings with which to confront long-standing questions and established theoretical constructs and in advancing our understanding of this bilingual phenomenon.
