This study reports two metalinguistic parameters that constitute the schematic control of lateral inhibitory links between translation equivalents within the bilingual lexico-semantic system of Green's (Bilingualism: Language and Cognition 1:67-81, 1998a, Bilingualism: Language and Cognition 1:100-104, 1998b, The bilingualism reader, Routledge, London, 2007) inhibitory control (IC) model.

In this paper we investigate possible links between historical linguistics and cognitive science, or theory of the mind. Our primary goal is to demonstrate that historically documented processes of a certain type, i.e. those relating to semantic change and grammaticalization, form a unified theoretical bundle which gives insight into the cognitive processes at work in language organization and ...

This study shows that in the present scenario, Gulgulia speakers widely show traits of code-switching, not just in the outside domain but also in the home domain. This research, a socio-linguistic analysis of contact between Gulgulia, Hindi and Khortha etc. seeks to determine the social, psychological and linguistic factors that constraint the use of Gulgulia language in the day-to-day communic...

We present a method that consumes a large corpus of multilingual text and produces a single, unified word embedding in which the word vectors generalize across languages. In contrast to current approaches that require language identification, our method is agnostic about the languages with which the documents in the corpus are expressed, and does not rely on parallel corpora to constrain the sp...

This article quantitatively studies the patterns of Tunisian Arabic/French codeswitching and the possible implications for contact-induced change in the Tunisian dialect. The purpose is to account for the extent of the occurrence of code-switching across gender lines and levels of education and assess its role in the interference from French into Arabic, both at the lexical and structural level...

Code-switching is a widespread phenomenon in bilingual speech, and it is therefore not surprising that a great proportion of research on bilingualism focuses on this topic. Most researchers, who have paid attention to code-switching, have however been concerned with the sociological interpretation and discourse functions, i.e. the socio-pragmatic aspect, of code-switching. For this reason, ling...

This study aims to determine the relationships of Code-Switching Based Instruction on learners involvement and efficacy in mathematics. The aimed answer following questions: 1) What is extent use code-switching based instruction regarding tag-switching efficiency, inter-sentential switching, intra-sentential switching? 2) terms attention interest? 3) confidence, experience, enthusiasm? 4) Does ...

Introduction: Optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) is receiving increasing attention with several groups pushing to realise Gbit=s multi-user demonstrations [1–8]. Among other possible advantages provided by OCDMA, its potential for enhanced information security is frequently mentioned. This is plausible at first glance considering the OCDMA encoded signal manifests itself as noise-lik...
