{"pk":50350,"title":"Predictability effects of Spanish-English code-switching: A directionality and part of speech analysis","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Previous code-switching research (Carter et al., 2010) demonstrates Spanish's tendency to be the matrix language and the involvement of the determiner-noun part of speech (PoS) combination in Spanish-English code-switching. This research, however, primarily uses the spoken Miami Bangor Corpus (MBC), limiting generalizability across speech communities/modalities. We examined the MBC (N=261,711), the spoken Spanish in Texas Corpus, STC (N=416,784), and the written LinCe Corpus, LC (N=278,093) to analyze language directionality and PoS effects across speech communities and modalities. Bootstrap analyses indicate that Spanish was the matrix language at a higher proportion than English for MBC and LC, but English was for STC. Logistic regression analyses show the particle-coordinating conjunction combination was the strongest PoS predictor of a code-switch. These results suggest that corpus modality and speech community both affect matrix language proportions and that previously unconsidered PoS combinations may be involved in code-switching.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Linguistics; Corpus studies"}],"section":"Member Abstracts with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/96b0t3sw","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Joshua","middle_name":"","last_name":"Higdon","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Florida","department":""},{"first_name":"Valeria","middle_name":"","last_name":"Pagliai","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Florida","department":""},{"first_name":"Zoey","middle_name":"","last_name":"Liu","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Florida","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2025-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/50350/galley/38312/download/"}]}
