Beschreibung
This book offers a comprehensive and consistent illustration in testing theories in code-switching and analyzing CS data. It is the first in its nature to analyze and provide evidence from French-Lingala code-switching. It provides robust contribution in interpreting and understanding the MLFM. The book tests the model by applying two main criteria in defining the Matrix Language. The analises highlight the weaknesses of the model in discussing the case of double morphology.
