Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Does the use of two languages by bilinguals inevitably bring about grammatical change Does switching between languages serve as a catalyst in such change It is widely held that linguistic code-switching inherently promotes grammatical convergence - languages becoming more similar to each other through contact; evidence for this, however, remains elusive.
