Anaphora resolution in near-native speakers of Italian (2006, methodology): “8We used a similar screening procedure to that designed by White and Genesee (1996), based on the same criteria (the learner’s lexicon, morphology, syntax, phonology and fluency were evaluated independently by two Italian native speakers listening to selected speech samples).”
Phrase-final prepositions in Quebec French: An empirical study of contact, code-switching and resistance to convergence* (2011, background): “256), CS has been identified as a key mechanism for contact-induced change in general, and structural convergence in particular (e.g. Backus, 2004, 2005; Fuller, 1996; Heath, 1989; Muysken, 2000; Thomason, 2001; Toribio, 2004; Winford, 2005).”
Testing convergence via code-switching: priming and the structure of variable subject expression (2011, background): “…a higher rate of expressed subjects in ‘bilingual’ than in ‘monolingual’ mode, and concluded that ‘the simultaneous presence of languages in code-switching further favors the searching for parallels between them, and hence promulgates the striving towards convergence’ (Toribio, 2004, p. 172).”
Codeswitching and language change: One thing leads to another? (2005, background): “Bolonyai (2000, pp.94 – 95) found that deviations in Hungarian syntax were much more common in clauses that also contained English words (also see Savić, 1995, and Toribio, 2004).”
Innovative constructions in Dutch Turkish: An assessment of ongoing contact-induced change* (2009, background): “In future research, the Turkish of the same speakers could be analyzed in the bilingual mode as well (cf. Toribio, 2004).”
Implementing English-medium instruction (EMI) in China: teachers’ practices and perceptions, and students’ learning motivation and needs* (2019, background): “From a psycholinguistic perspective, code-switching assists comprehension as it reduces the cognitive cost of processing two simultaneously active language systems (Toribio 2004; Ong, Zhang, and Martin 2013).”
