Does Code Switching Take Time? a Comparison of Results in Experimental and Natural Settings, with Some Implications for Bilingual Language Processing

University of California, Davis

This paper addresses the question of whether or not natural code switching talk takes an observable amount of time (in comparison with unilingual speech), as has been suggested by a good deal of experimental research on bilingual language processing. Some of the major studies on this topic are discussed and their results compared with the switching times determined for a Spanish-English bilingual in spontaneous code switching. Implications of the findings are also discussed in relation to a number of issues in research on bilingualism.
