Is anyone familiar with any studies conducted on the consistency of vowel
production in native and non-native speakers of English?  I am interested
in examining the aspects of both production and perception.

Subject: Double-Morphology in Hebrew Borrowings 

	

I am an undergraduate linguistics major at Yale. I am looking at
double-morphology phenomena in Hebrew borrowings from English. 
	
I've done my best to familiarize myself with the available accounts of CS
and their explanations of the phenomena (MacSwan, Myers-Scotton etc). I
have also looked at some available data from other languages (mostly
code-switching, including English/Cantonese, Turkish/Dutch and
Russian/English, as well as Chichewa borrowings from English). 
	
I would now like to delve deeper into lexicon side of things to get a
broader perspective. Can anyone suggest a few good things to read that
discuss the lexicon as it applies to bilingualism and code-switching? I'm
also looking for anything that deals with how affixes become nonproductive
(again, anything in the context of bilingualism is even better). 

Respectfully yours,
