CTRL: A Conditional Transformer Language Model for Controllable Generation (2019, background): “…image generation as well as the recent progress in text generation (Radford et al., 2019) and multitask learning McCann et al. (2018), we train a language model that is conditioned on a variety of control codes (Pfaff, 1979; Poplack, 1980) that make desired features of generated text more explicit.”
The architecture of the bilingual language faculty: evidence from intrasentential code switching (2000, background): “Poplack (1980) and Belazi et al. (1994) share an intuition that a basic con¯ict in the requirements of the mixed grammars is responsible for ungrammaticality in code switching, an appealing idea, which, as I will try to illustrate below, could prove extremely fruitful in the analysis of code…”
Processing verb argument structure across languages: Evidence for shared representations in the bilingual lexicon (2007, background): “…code switches are structurally constrained in that they occur at points where they do not violate the surface syntactic requirements of either language (Pfaff, 1979; Poplack, 1980) or at least of the language that sets the grammatical frame of the utterance (MyersScotton & Jake, 1995).”
Conversational codeswitching among Korean-English bilingual children (2000, background): “…large body of research reveals codeswitching as a normal and widespread phenomenon of bilingual discourse (see, e.g., Gumperz, 1982; McClure, 1981; Poplack, 1980; Romaine, 1995; Timm, 1975) not only laypersons but some researchers have often assumed that those who mix languages do not know either…”
Functions of Code Switching in Schoolchildren's Conversations (2004, background): “While CS might be an indicator of bilingual ability in adults (Poplack, 1980), it might indicate development of bilingual communicative competence in children who are still learning a second language (L2) (Reyes, 2001).”
