Myers-Scotton, Carol

Examines the extent to which material from a donor language (Embedded Language or EL) appearing in a recipient language (Matrix Language) shows internal differentiation. It is suggested that models of structural aspects of codeswitching must provide a unified account for all EL material in codeswitching utterances. (Author/LB)
