Summary of "Borrowing and Shift-Induced Interference: Contrasting Patterns in French-Germanic Contact."
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Treffers-Daller, Jeanine – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 1999
Summarizes a keynote address that tested hypotheses from the model for contact-induced language change as formulated in Thomason and Kaufman (1998) and Thomason (1998). The model correctly predicts the asymmetries between the mutual influences of the Germanic and Romance varieties in Brussels, Belgium and Strasbourg, France, making it a very…

Truscott, John; Smith, Mike Sharwood – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2004
The paper offers a model of language development, first and second, within a processing perspective. We first sketch a modular view of language, in which competence is embodied in the processing mechanisms. We then propose a novel approach to language acquisition (Acquisition by Processing Theory, or APT), in which development of the module occurs…

Otheguy, Ricardo – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2004
In an important theoretical contribution to our understanding of language contact, Toribio elaborates on the familiar generalization, best known from the work of Silva-Corvalan, that contact varieties resemble monolingual lects of the same language in overall grammar, but differ with regard to (a) the selection of structures and (b) the…

Insertional Codeswitching in an Immigrant Language: "Just Borrowing or Lexical Re-orientation?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Backus, Ad – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2000
Explores the usefulness of a typology of contact mechanisms for one type of contact setting: that of a typical immigrant language, in this case the variety of Turkish that is spoken in the Netherlands. Examines the relevance of insertional code switching to the genesis of mixed languages--Dutch and Turkish. (Author/VWL)

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Boumans, Louis – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2006
Moroccan Arabic has two competing syntactic constructions for possessive marking: a synthetic one and an analytic one. The distribution of these constructions is investigated in semi-spontaneous narratives (frog stories) from four Moroccan cities and from the diaspora community in the Netherlands. This distribution is found to depend very much on…
