Como está hablando con su mamá, está bien que haga el code-switching ’
This study examines Spanish-English bilinguals’ social perceptions of the usage of monolingual Spanish, monolingual English, and code-switching, taking into consideration the situational context (interlocutor and location) in which utterances are produced. A matched-guise experiment was created with the speech of 4 Spanish-English bilinguals from Texas varying in language mode and speech setting. Based on responses from 112 Spanish-English biling…
Exploring a Loan Translation and Its Consequences in an Oral Bilingual Corpus
This work applies computational tools that have been used to model loanwords in newspaper corpora to an analysis of a loan translation in an oral bilingual corpus. The explicit goal of the contribution is to argue that a specific collocation found in a corpus of Spanish spoken in Texas, agarrar+ NP (e.g., agarrar ayuda ), is a loan translation that is calqued on English get + np support verb constructions (e.g., get help ). We base our argument o…
The challenges and benefits of annotating oral bilingual corpora
This article describes efforts to collect, process, and automatically annotate a corpus of Spanish as spoken in Texas. It elaborates the protocols for the development of the corpus and the procedures for automatic annotation, illustrating the common pitfalls to language identification in bilingual corpora and potential methods for circumventing them. The benefits of a comparative corpus approach to contact varieties is illustrated by a case study…
The status of s in Dominican Spanish
From Trujillo to the terremoto
Our work examines the residual effects of three quarters of a century of anti-Haitian propaganda on the language attitudes and ideologies of contemporary children in the northern Dominican Republic. Focused on interviews with 90 Dominican fronterizo children and adolescents, many of whom are descendants of Haitians themselves, our findings reveal that their attitudes towards Haitian Creole mirror broader negative assessments of its speakers. In t…
The Cambridge Handbook of Linguistic Code-switching
Code-switching – the alternating use of two languages in the same stretch of discourse by a bilingual speaker – is a dominant topic in the study of bilingualism and a phenomenon that generates a great deal of pointed discussion in the public domain. This handbook provides the most comprehensive guide to this bilingual phenomenon to date. Drawing on empirical data from a wide range of language pairings, the leading researchers in the study of bili…
Syntactic-theoretical perspectives on bilingual code-switching
Attitudes towards lexical borrowing and intra-sentential code-switching among Spanish-English bilinguals
The present study seeks to evaluate bilinguals’ attitudes towards the contact forms that are manifested in the speech of Spanish-English bilinguals in the United States, and the factors that contribute to this linguistic assessment. Towards that end, bilinguals of diverse proficiencies are presented with five versions of the fairytale Little Red Riding Hood/La Caperucita Roja : a normative Spanish text, two Spanish texts that contrast in the type…
Ethnic Identities, Language, and Economic Outcomes Among Dominicans in a New Destination
Objective. This study examines how racial/ethnic self‐identity interrelates with language ability, skin tone, and years in the United States and with indicators of socioeconomic attainment for Dominican immigrants in Reading, Pennsylvania, a new destination city that had a nearly 800 percent increase in the Dominican population between 1990–2000. Methods. In‐depth ethno‐surveys conducted with a sample of 65 Dominican‐origin adults are the basis f…
Contact and contracting Spanish
This investigation is inspired by an interest in the contact/contracting grammars of heritage speakers of Spanish who have experienced prolonged exposure to English in the United States and, in particular, what their linguistic performance reveals of their knowledge of lexical subclasses and discursive properties associated with ordering of sentential constituents in the Spanish language. Analysis of data obtained for 24 participants on diverse m…
Spanish/English Speech Practices
This paper presents a linguistic analysis of Spanish-English bilingual speech for scholars and practitioners of bilingualism. More specifically, the study surveys several outcomes of language contact, among these, inter-lingual transference, codeswitching, and convergence, as evidenced in the speech practices of heritage Spanish speakers in the United States. The emergent assessment is linguistically informed, thereby illuminating our understandi…
Spanish-English code-switching among US Latinos
The present endeavor evaluates the linguistic attitudes and attributes that characterize and delimit code-switching practice among Spanish-English bilinguals in the United States, so doing with an aim toward establishing the (perceived) linguistic import of this communicative behavior as an intervening or catalytic variable in Spanish language attrition and loss, and its social import as a reflection or reconfiguration of Latino identity. Such an…
Accessing bilingual code-switching competence
The present work is inspired by an interest in the syntactic regularities that underlie language alternations in Spanish-English bilingual speech, and the methodologies that may prove most reliable and informative in this exploration. Accordingly, it attends to the conceptual and methodological issues that must be addressed and surmounted, and taking account of these concerns, presents new methodologies for gathering codeswitching data. The robus…

Language variation and the linguistic enactment of identity among Dominicans
The present study seeks to examine the linguistic dimensions of national and immigrant Dominican societies, in particular, the linguistic attributes and attitudes that delimit Dominican speech communities and the extent to which social identity may be mediated via these linguistic constructs. The sociolinguistic profile to be proffered is achieved by reference to language forms and evaluations unveiled in interviews conducted in the Dominican Rep…
Setting parametric limits on dialectal variation in Spanish
The role of functional categories in bilingual children's language mixing and differentiation
The present paper examines the simultaneous development of the two linguistic competences of the bilingual child. It has been observed that language mixing, defined as the indiscriminate combinations of elements from each of the component languages, is most frequent during a very early phase of language acquisition. However, as the child acquires greater competence in the two languages, the language contact which is in evidence (if any at all) in…
