本文从结构的角度研究了英日儿童的语码转换。Muysken将其分为三种类型,即插入、交替和一致词汇化。关于插入,使用Myers-SCotton的矩阵语言框架(MLF)模型,可以识别双语从句的矩阵语言(ML),并且来自另一种语言的项被认为是嵌入的。相反,交替不区分矩阵语言和嵌入语言:说话人从使用A语言完全改变为使用B语言。另一方面,在一致的词汇化中,ML由两种或两种以上语言组成。本文对两名英日双语儿童(5;9-9;3,3;3-6;9)的自然语料进行了初步的MLF模型插入框架分析,但有41.8%的语料不能识别ML。用交替词汇化框架和一致词汇化框架对这些词汇化进行了考察。定性分析表明,心理语言学过程和语用力量构成了非插入型语篇转换的基础。触发和程式化语言的心理语言学过程在交替中起着重要作用,而趋同是另一个心理语言学过程,导致一致的词汇化。从语用角度看,英语构成语用/语篇框架,日语表达命题意义。这一发现表明,双语儿童可以将不同的功能归因于不同的语言。
This article investigates English–Japanese children's code-switching (CS) from the structural point of view. Muysken categorises it into three types, that is,insertion,alternationandcongruent lexicalisation. Regarding insertion, using Myers- Scotton's matrix language frame (MLF) model, for example, the matrix language (ML) of a bilingual clause can be identified and items from the other language are considered embedded. In contrast, alternation does not distinguish between the matrix and embedded languages: the speaker makes a full change from using language A to using language B. In congruent lexicalisation, on the other hand, the ML consists of two or more languages. In this article, natural data from two English–Japanese bilingual children (5;9-9;3, 3;3-6;9) are analysed primarily using the MLF model, the insertion framework, but the ML cannot be identified in 41.8% of the data. These are examined with the alternation and congruent lexicalisation frameworks. Qualitative analyses show that psycholinguistic processes and pragmatic forces underlie those non-insertional types of CS. Psycholinguistic processes of triggering and formulaic language play important roles in alternation, whereas convergence, another psycholinguistic process, leads to congruent lexicalisation. From the pragmatic point of view, English makes a pragmatic/discourse frame and Japanese expresses propositional meanings. This finding suggests that bilingual children can attribute different functions to different languages.
