Integration in Code-switching: What is it, How Does it Surface, and Why?

 

Two important discoveries in bilingualism research are that 1) th e two languages of a bilingual are always active, even when o nly one language is being attended to, and 2) the two languages of a bil ingual influence one another in a bi-directional manner. In other words, the two languages of a bilingual are intimately intertwine d. Despite this understanding, the ways in which we vi ew and model the bilingual linguistic system tend to keep the languages& nbsp;distinct, relying on built-in mechanisms to separate t hem. But just how separate, or not, are the two languages of a bilingual? To examine this question, I present evidence from fo ur studies investigating the processing and production of code-switched speech. These studies show that the processing of code -switched sentences is modulated by both the interacti on between long-term linguistic experience and the immediate cognitive d emands in which bilinguals find themselves. In product ion, code-switching appears to serve as a facilitative strategy that bil inguals employ to lessen the general demands of speech planning and production. Taken together, these studies suggest that the  bilingual linguistic system is highly plastic and ada ptive, changing to meet the demands of the current context. In some cases, a bilingual's two languages may appear separate, su ch that code-switching appears to be more alternation than integration; nonetheless, under different circumstances, the two la nguages of a bilingual appear less "two" and more "one " than previously thought. As Grosjean warned nearly forty years ago, th ere is no Platonic ideal of a bilingual; rather, bilin gualism is a complex and holistic experience that shapes the ways biling uals use and engage with their linguistic surroundings .
