Code-Switching as Indexical of Native Language Lexical Deficiency in Mauritania.
Sounkalo, Jiddou
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v16 n5 p403-21 1995
Investigates the relationship between French instruction and the phenomena of discontinued lexical development, lexical attrition, and lexical deficiency in the speech of Mauritanians. Findings indicate native-language lexical deficiency was reflected in code switching, and subjects (Ss) with low native-language fluency code switched more than Ss with high native fluency.
