Finding anchors in code-switching
Code-switching is a conversational practice where bilinguals switch back and forth between their two languages. Although this behavior provides us with a unique data source when investigating online sentence processing, the majority of work on intrasentential code-switching has largely concentrated on identifying conditions that lead to (un)grammatical code-switch utterances. Because of that, less attention has been given to how speakers process …
Bilingual knowledge of wh-in situ and island violations
Research on bilingual sentence processing has argued that structures which fully overlap in surface word order across two languages do not distinctly belong to either one of a bilingual’s languages but are instead shared across both. However, it is unclear to what extent the derivational properties of these structures play a role in this sharedness. In this paper we investigate bilinguals’ sensitivity to two structures that ultimately result in o…
Resumptive pronouns and code-switched A-bar dependencies
In this paper we investigate bilinguals' sensitivity to two structures that display overlapping word orders across their two languages but are argued to have different derivational properties in their formation. We focus on filler-gap dependencies with and without resumptive pronouns in Egyptian Arabic, a language argued to have grammatical resumptive pronouns base generated at the tail end of nominal A-bar dependencies, and English, a language a…
Rejecting nativeness to produce a more accurate and just Linguistics
Both the concept of native speaker/signer and the term itself have been widely critiqued across fields of language research. However, this term is still often used uncritically by linguists, with some disciplines centering the behavior and knowledge of native speakers as the main object of inquiry. We argue that the term native speaker/signer should not be treated as an objective analytic category. Instead, it is a language-ideological assemblage…
Codeswitching and the Egyptian Arabic construct state
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 codeswitch…
Using audio stimuli in acceptability judgment experiments
In this paper, we argue that moving away from written stimuli in acceptability judgment experiments is necessary to address the systematic exclusion of particular empirical phenomena, languages/varieties, and speakers in psycholinguistics. We provide user-friendly guidelines for conducting acceptability experiments which use audio stimuli in three platforms: Praat, Qualtrics, and PennController for Ibex. This paper aims not only to increase the t…
