We discuss how their work reflected a growing emphasis on moving beyond a strictly linguistic framework to focus on the psychological and social context in which code-switching occurs, and on the speaker-specific factors that affect the behaviour. We review and evaluate some of the substantial body of subsequent quantitative research about language switching and its relationship to language dominance, lexical access, cognitive control and interactional contexts. Some of these areas, like cognitive control, have seen considerable progress in understanding in the last thirty years and have substantially contributed to the development of psychological theories of bilingualism. Others we are only more recently beginning to understand, such as the effect of interactional contexts on the cognition of code-switching. The data yield a complex and sometimes contradictory picture but overall demonstrate that a range of social and psychological factors affect code-switching behaviours in ways that offer insights into the cognitive basis of code-switching.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50118,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurolinguistics","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 101309"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145737658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 26.0 and MATLAB R2022a (MathWorks Inc.) for signal processing and feature extraction, applying both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Adolescents at risk for suicide exhibited significantly longer P300 latencies in both ears compared to their non-risk peers (p < 0.05), while no significant differences were observed in P300 amplitude. Regarding voice analysis, significant group differences were found in the F1, F2, and F3 formants during the open-ended question task (p < 0.05), suggesting alterations in speech articulation. However, vowel production parameters did not differ notably between groups. Adolescents at risk for suicide demonstrated delayed neurophysiological processing (increased P300 latency) and altered speech articulation during spontaneous speech tasks.
