Reka bentuk fakulti bahasa penutur dwibahasa: bukti daripada pengalihan kod intraayat

Abstract

In this article, the author addresses the question of how the mind represents two languages in simultaneous bilingualism. Some linguistic theories of intrasentential code switching are reviewed, with a focus on the Minimalist approach of Mac Swan (1999b ); the author concludes that evidence from code switching suggests that bilinguals have discrete and separate lexicons for the languages they speak, each with its own internal principles of word formation, as well as separate phonological systems. However, the author argues that computational resources common to both languages generate monolingual and bilingual syntactic derivation alike. Advantages of the Minimalist Program for the analysis of code switching data are discussed at some length.
