Triggered codeswitching: Lexical processing and conversational dynamics

Abstract: This study investigates the psycholinguistic process underlying triggered codeswitching – codeswitching facilitated by the occurrence of cognates – within the context of conversational dynamics. It confirms that, in natural bilingual speech, lexical selection of cognates can facilitate codeswitching by enhancing the activation of the non-selected language. Analyses of a large-scale corpus of Welsh–English conversational speech showed that 1) producing cognates facilitated codeswitching, 2) speakers who general… Show more

“…Thus, effects of trigger word category are to be interpreted as the effect of trials with cognates vs. trials with control words and the effect of trials with false friends vs. trials with control words. The presence of an effect of trials with cognates vs. trials with control words would be evidence of cognate triggering, as found previously in corpus studies (Broersma and De Bot, 2006;Broersma, 2009;Broersma et al, 2009Broersma et al, , 2019). An effect of trials with false friends vs. trials with control words would signify that even false friends can trigger code-switching to occur.…”

“…A fundamental question within this psycholinguistic perspective is which factors at which levels of processing influence bilinguals' tendency to code-switch. At the level of sentence production, one line of research has studied to what extent cross-language lexical overlap influences the likelihood to code-switch, as specified in the lexical triggering hypothesis of code-switching (e.g., Clyne, 1980;Broersma and De Bot, 2006;Broersma et al, 2019). Lexical triggering refers to the mechanism by which language-ambiguous words [e.g., cognates 1 , translations that overlap in phonology (and often also in orthography) across languages, like the English-Dutch "apple"-"appel"] facilitate, or trigger, a speaker to switch from one language to the other.…”
