Surface constraints
Equivalence Constraint and Free Morpheme Constraint (Poplack, 1980)
-
The FHC, linguistic theory, and psycholinguistic models
Conclusions
The rule-governed nature of code-switching is upheld by even the non-fluent bilinguals, indicating an emerging sensitivity to f-selection.
Bilinguals with higher competence in both languages exhibit a greater sensitivity to the patterns of code-switching.
