Codeswitching, Convergence and Compliance: The Development of Micro-Community Speech Norms.
Burt, Susan Meredith
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v13 n1-2 p169-85 1992
In conversations between bilinguals, each of whom is a learner of the other's language, two different local patterns of codeswitching may emerge: compliance and mutual convergence. It is argued that a pattern of compliance is ultimately more accommodating that convergence, contrary to the claims of Speech Accommodation Theory. (20 references) (Author/LB)
