| Research Abstract |
This study aims to look at bilinguals' code-switching phenomena from the perspective of grammatical structure. Naturalistic interactions of balanced bilinguals were recorded, transcribed and formed into a corpus consisting of over 10 thousands clauses. The code-switched clauses were examined to ascertain whether items from one language were inserted into a main clause in the other language, i.e. the insertion pattern or whether the speaker was switching from one language to the other, i.e. the alternation pattern.
