Abstract

In this paper, I assume a grammatical approach to codeswitching (MacSwan, 2012), which predicts a ban on codeswitching below the head level. Previous literature has analyzed this ban largely at the word-level, terming it a ban on word-internal codeswitching. In this paper I argue that the said ban can also be extended from the lexical domain to certain syntactic domains that act as one word. I test MacSwan’s theory in the context of codeswitching within construct state nominals, a genitive construction prevalent in Semitic languages. The construct state is particularly relevant for discussions on the syntax-phonology interface within codeswitching because it is a complex and productive syntactic structure that is mapped onto one word. The results of an acceptability judgment experiment show lowered acceptability for sentences where a codeswitch occurred within a construct state nominal vs. sentences where the codeswitch occurred outside of a construct state nominal. The lowered acceptability for such codeswitched judgments suggests that the ban on word-internal codeswitching is not in fact limited to words but can be extended to complex syntactic units that prosodically function as one word.
代码转换与埃及-阿拉伯建构状态
在这篇论文中,我假设了一种语法方法来处理代码转换(MacSwan,2012),它预测了禁止低于头部水平的代码转换。先前的文献主要从单词层面分析了这一禁令,称其为单词内部代码转换禁令。在本文中,我认为上述禁令也可以从词汇领域扩展到作为一个词的某些句法领域。我把麦克斯旺的理论放在构形-状态-主格内的代码转换的背景下进行测试,这是一种在闪米特语言中普遍存在的属格结构。构造状态与代码转换中的语法-音韵学接口的讨论特别相关,因为它是一个映射到一个单词上的复杂而富有成效的句法结构。可接受性判断实验的结果显示,与代码切换发生在结构状态标称之外的句子相比,代码切换发生于结构状态标称之内的句子的可接受性降低。这种代码转换判断的可接受性降低表明,禁止单词内部代码转换实际上并不局限于单词,而是可以扩展到韵律上作为一个单词发挥作用的复杂句法单元。

期刊介绍: LAB provides an outlet for cutting-edge, contemporary studies on bilingualism. LAB assumes a broad definition of bilingualism, including: adult L2 acquisition, simultaneous child bilingualism, child L2 acquisition, adult heritage speaker competence, L1 attrition in L2/Ln environments, and adult L3/Ln acquisition. LAB solicits high quality articles of original research assuming any cognitive science approach to understanding the mental representation of bilingual language competence and performance, including cognitive linguistics, emergentism/connectionism, generative theories, psycholinguistic and processing accounts, and covering typical and atypical populations.
