  • Revisiting the 4-M model: Codeswitching and morpheme election at the abstract level

    Open AccessCarol Myers‐scotton, Carol M Myers-Scotton et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2016

    Purpose: This paper offers an overview of the 4-M model from its inception, but pays special attention to how the characterization of morpheme types in the model has evolved. A new proposal is that the level at which morpheme types are “elected” in an abstract model of language production is a critical factor in predicting morpheme distribution across languages in bilingual data. Methodology: A new addition to the model, the Variable Election Hyp…

  • Four types of morpheme: Evidence From Aphasia, Code Switching, and Second-Language Acquisition

    Open AccessCarol Myers‐scotton, Carol Myers-Scotton et al.ARTICLELinguistics2000Cited by: 9

    This paper presents empirical evidence supporting a new model of morpheme classification called the 4-M model. This model emphasizes the notion that lemmas underlying different types of morphemes become salient at different levels of production. This explains their different distributions. While the 4-M model classifies morphemes, it is primarily a model of how morphemes are accessed. The argument is that particular instantiations of morphemes ar…

  • Constructing interlanguage: Building a composite matrix language

    Open AccessJanice L JakeARTICLELinguistics1998

    Treating interlanguage as language contact results in an explanatory account of second-language acquisition (SLA). The proposed model is informed by three sets of assumptions. First, lexical structure is composed of levels or substructures; the relevant levels are lexical-conceptual structure, predicate-argument structure, and morphological-realization patterns (Talmy 1985; Jackendoff 1990; Myers-Scotton and Jake 1995). Second, the distinction be…

  • Codeswitching and Compromise Strategies: Implications for Lexical Structure

    Open AccessJanice L Jake, Carol Myers‐scotton et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…1997

    This paper deals with two compromise strategies: 1) “Embedded Language Islands” and 2) “bare forms” in codeswitching (CS) within the CP (projection of Complementizer). These elements are discussed within the framework of the Matrix Language Frame Model (MLF model), a model explicated in Myers-Scotton (1993) and extended in Myers-Scotton and Jake (1995). While both EL Islands and bare forms are compromise strategies in CS, both are permissible opt…

  • Intrasentential code switching and pronouns: On the Categorial Status of Functional Elements

    Open AccessJanice L JakeARTICLELinguistics1994Cited by: 5

    L'A. definit le changement de code comme la selection de formes linguistiques provenant de plusieurs langues par des locuteurs bilingues ou multilingues au cours d'une meme conversation. Elle examine les pronoms dans le changement de code et veut montrer qu'ils ne peuvent etre uniformement definis comme appartenant a une categorie fonctionnelle unique
