Accessing bilingual code-switching competence

The present work is inspired by an interest in the syntactic regularities that underlie language alternation s in Spanish-English bilingual speech, and the methodolog ies that may prove most reliable and informative in this exploration. Accordingly, it attends to the conceptual and methodological issues that must be addressed and surmounted, and taking account of these concerns, presents new methodologies for gathering codeswitching data. The robust findings attest to the validity of the methodologies and of the elicited data, affording a valuable source of facts for further research.
