Dear colleagues,

Can anyone recommend any movies out on video which have
good examples of code-switching?

Please reply directly to me and I'll post a summary.

Thanks.

 Dear LINGUIST Reader,

I am looking for indications about what type of theory would account
for the effect indicated below. Namely what theories provide an
account based purely on the position of adverbial phrases in
sentences.



   Neil Smith (in his [Cambridge199] monograph on N.A. Chomsky, IDEAS
   AND IDEALS)states that native speakers will have no doubt in
   identifying one and only one of
   the follwoing pair

         a. Mary speaks English fluently
         b. Mary speaks fluently English

         as acceptable.


         I would appreciate it if people would share their own answers to the 3
         following queries

         1. Which one si accepatble? (please specify whether you are
         native speaker or not)
         2. Does the answer induce some search fro nonstandard
         interpretation (compare with "John speaks Chinese quite fluently")?
         3. [More for linguists] which kind of theories
         have been brought to bear on the effect of correctness generated
         by the position of the adverbial "fluently"?


You are invited to avoid clutter on the LINGUIST and send replies
directly to me, I shall post a brief summry.


        Thank you in advance.
