“…While our focus is on the interaction of grammatical principles and the gradient representational structure, it is important to note that many other factors contribute to code mixing. In particular, sociolinguistic factors play an important role in language choice and bilingual identity (for an overview, see Gardner-Chloros, 2009). While these are outside the scope of this current work, they define an important avenue for future development of our approach.…”

“…Definitions vary, but both utilized the term "code", which was adopted by linguists from the field of communication technology [31], referring to "a mechanism for the unambiguous transduction of signals between systems", analogous to what switching of language signifies a system that is used by bilingual speaker-hearer in everyday communication. Therefore, term "code" is frequently used nowadays by linguists as an "umbrella term for languages, dialects, styles etc" [32].…”

“…On the other hand, code-mixing refers to "embedding of various linguistic units, such as affixes (bound morphemes), words (unbound morphemes), phrases, and clauses. In order to infer what is intended, the participants must reconcile what they hear with what they understand, as cited by [32]. Examples of code-switching are shown in Table 8, where song code 11 is prominent.…”

Most of the studies of Bontok songs in Bontoc, Mountain Province, Philippines have focused on the need to preserve an aspect of the “Ifuntok” (people of Bontoc) society, but the major aim of this paper first proposes an understanding of the Tokwifi’s “Antoway”, Bacwaden’s “Ayyoweng”, and Khensay’s “Chag-ay”, commonly regarded as songs of the Bontoks during wakes and funerals, taking into consideration its intrinsic potential on literary themes and musicality. This paper then organizes the framework of Prototype and Relevance Theory and applies it to the selected songs found in the three collections. It attempts to express how prototype and relevance theory can improve not only a thematic analysis of the selected songs, but also the extra-textual interpretations that can be drawn from them. In doing so, it adds to the contemporary thoughtful understanding of Bontok indigenous tradition, as they are deceptively eliminated of the impression of the past, recontextualized in today’s literature and music curriculum, and associated in contemporary free issues and concerns in the Bontok community.

“…Bullock and Toribio (2012: 1) highlight the importance of Code-Switching to contact linguistics when they observed that "of all the contact phenomenon of interest to researchers and students of bilingualism, code switching has arguably dominated the field". There are several definitions of code-switching and they revolve around the use of two or more languages within one or more utterances (Gardner-Chloros 2011;Poplack 1978/1981) Muysken 2005Myers-Scotton (2002) and Borsley (2011). Contact linguists have also distinguished between code mixing and code switching.…”

“…Muysken (2005: 1) defines code switching as "cases where lexical items and grammatical features of the two languages appear in one clause". Code switching according to Gardner-Chloros (2011) on the other hand "involves the use of two or more languages in the conversation of bilingual speakers". morphemes is the matrix language.…”

Nouns as Lexical Heads in Urhobo English Code-Switching

Two topics in the front burner of contact linguistics are bilingualism and code switching. Code switching between an indigenous language and the English language is pervasive where outer circle Englishes are spoken. Nigeria and other former colonies of Great Britain belong to this circle of Englishes. This study discusses nouns functioning as lexical heads in Urhobo/ English code switches. The switches include code switched NP with determiners from Urhobo and head words from English; Urhobo -English complex Code switched NP with an adjective; complex CS NP with an adjective prepositional phrase as complement. The study is premised on two theories. First is Noam Chomsky's (1981) principles and parameters theory of transformational grammar which has been used for the analysis of the sentences. The second is Myers-Scotton's (2002) Matrix Language Frame (MLF), which is used for distinguishing between the matrix and the embedded languages in the nominal phrasal constituents within the code switched sentences. In this study, Urhobo is the matrix language while English is the embedded language based on matrix language frame (MLF) parameters. The study concludes that nouns functioning as lexical heads constitute part of the structural basis of Urhobo English code-switching.
