Most linguists who do \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e study codeswitching think of it as belonging strictly in the domain of sociolinguistics. Most codeswitching studies do indeed have a social aspect, because they typically use naturally occurring performance data as their base. This book, however, is just as much a study in grammatical theory as a study of language in use. The specific research question addressed is this: when speakers alternate between two or more linguistic varieties, how free is this alternation from the structural point of view? Carol Myers-Scotton develops a model of the morphosyntactic constraints on codeswitching and concludes that the principles governing codeswitching are the same everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591460569239,"sku":"9780198237129","price":7301.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198237129.webp?v=1774973220","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/duelling-languages-grammatical-structure-in-codeswitching-9780198237129","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
