本研究旨在探讨语法前提条件对双语儿童语码转换的影响。本文认为语码转换不仅受语言本身语法特性的制约，而且受语言使用原则和机制的制约。因此，语码转换的制约因素被定义为依赖于语法知识的加工原则。它们确保转换不会导致违反语法连贯性，语法连贯性是根据线性序列和结构配置来定义的。这些说法进行了实证检验，分析了两个双语儿童同时获得法语和德语的讲话。有人认为，即使在最早的混合使用，限制没有违反;在许多情况下，他们不适用，因为相关的语法关系还没有举行。然而，根据这些限制，一旦某种语法知识可以获得，语码转换就从早期开始使用。最重要的是，功能类别必须在孩子的语法中实现。
This study examines the role of grammatical prerequisites on code-switching in young bilingual children. It is proposed that code-switching is constrained not only by grammatical properties of the languages involved; it is also regulated by principles and mechanisms of language use. Constraints on code-switching are therefore defined as processing principles that, however, depend on grammatical knowledge. They ensure that switching does not result in a violation of grammatical coherence, defined in terms of both linear sequencing and structural configuration. Some of these claims are tested empirically, analyzing the speech of two bilingual children acquiring French and German simultaneously. It is argued that even in the earliest uses of mixing, constraints are not violated; in many cases they do not apply because the relevant grammatical relations do not yet hold. Code-switching is nevertheless used from early on in accordance with these constraints, as soon as a certain kind of grammatical knowledge is accessible. Most importantly, functional categories have to be implemented in the child's grammar.
