Abstract:

Does a bilingual person have two separate lexicons and two separate
grammatical systems? Or should the bilingual linguistic competence be regarded
as an integrated system? This book explores this issue, which is central to
current debate in the study of bilingualism, and argues for an integrated
hypothesis: the linguistic competence of an individual is a single cognitive
faculty, and the bilingual mind should not be regarded as fundamentally
different from the monolingual one. This conclusion is backed up with a
variety of empirical data, in particular code-switching, drawn from a variety
of bilingual pairs. The book introduces key notions in minimalism and
distributed morphology, making them accessible to readers with different
scholarly foci. This book is of interest to those working in linguistics and
psycholinguistics, especially bilingualism, code-switching, and the lexicon.

Brings in evidence from both linguistic theory and psycholinguistics that
shows how the two fields converge on the integrated hypothesis 

Makes key notions of linguistic theory accessible to readers of various
scholarly traditions, while simultaneously demonstrating how these notions are
relevant to work on bilingualism 

A variety of contact phenomena are discussed and receive a unifying analysis
