Bilingual Speech
A Typology of Code-Mixing
Pieter Muysken, Leiden University, The Netherlands
This book provides an in-depth analysis of the different ways in which
bilingual speakers switch from one language to another in the course
of conversation. Pieter Muysken identifies three distinct patterns of
mixing and explores how different mixing strategies depend on the
contrasting grammatical properties of the languages involved, the
degree of bilingual competence of the speaker and various social
factors. The book synthesizes a vast array of recent research in a
rapidly growing field of study that has much to reveal about the
structure and function of language.
Contents:
1. The study of code-mixing;
2. Differences and similarities between languages;
3. Insertion;
4. Alternation;
5. Congruent lexicalization;
6. Function words;
7. Bilingual verbs;
8. Variation in mixing patterns;
9. Bilingual speech and language contact.

A Computational Theory of Writing Systems
Richard Sproat, AT&T, Florham Park, NJ
This innovative book develops a formal computational theory of writing
systems and relates it to psycholinguistic results. Drawing on case
studies of writing systems around the world, it offers specific
proposals about the linguistic objects that are represented by
orthographic elements and the formal constraints that hold of the
mapping relation between them. Based on the insights gained, it posits
a new taxonomy of writing systems. The book will be of interest to
students and researchers in theoretical and computational linguistics,
the psycholinguistics of reading and writing, and speech technology.
