[Lingtyp] Contact-induced grammaticalisation withOUT replication of existing constructions

[Parafita Couto, M. (Maria del Carmen)]

Dear Pun Ho et al,

I thought you might find the case of hacer  (do) bilingual verb constructions in Spanish–English code-switching of interest. Below, I’ve included a couple of relevant references, as well as a recent abstract by Iarina Albu (MA student at Utrecht University), co-authored with Roberta D’Alessandro (both in cc). Osmer Balam (also in cc) has done extensive work on this.

Dear Pun Ho et al.,

Perhaps the many examples of "ordinary" and "replica" grammaticalisation in Heine & Kuteva (2003) might be what you're looking for? (Though they focus on grammaticalisation in contact situations, not solely in code-switching, as I recall.)

Heine, B., & Kuteva, T. (2003). On contact-induced grammaticalization. Studies in Language, 27(3), 529–572. https://doi.org/10.1075/sl.27.3.04hei

Subject: [Lingtyp] Contact-induced grammaticalisation withOUT replication of existing constructions

Dear linguists,

I am wondering if anyone has reported any case of grammaticalisation emerged in code-switching.
The grammaticalised construction is not a replication of an existing construction in the code-switching languages because these languages do not have similar constructions.

Thank you.

Warmest,
Pun Ho Lui Joe
