Such a phenomenon occurs when speakers<br>use a code-switched style during bilingual discourse resulting in the<br>merging of two grammars. This volume explores linguistic differences<br>amongst speakers of different generational groups in the British-Moroccan<br>community. An innovative form of syntax termed 'Reactive Syntax' is<br>presented together with theoretical and practical analysis of new data. <br><br>Najat Benchiba-Savenius explores sound observations in bilingualism and<br>provides unique data throughout this major study. This is explored in full<br>and corroborated by sound empirical evidence gathered during the course of<br>this study. The grammatical outcome of such code switched utterances is<br>quantitatively and qualitatively detailed through natural parsing by<br>bilingual speakers of Moroccan Arabic and English. The main theories and<br>syntactic approaches to intra-sentential code switching are examined and<br>previous research and theoretical models are also challenged. <br><br>This investigation is a useful tool in language contact, bilingualism,<br>psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics in general. It is particularly of<br>interest in the field of syntax, general and complex morphology as well as<br>bilingual studies. <br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>End of Arabic-L: 28 Feb 2011</body></html>
