Annotation

This paper explores Montagnais/French code-switching in adults and children in the native community of Betsiamites (Northern Quebec). It is argued that comprehension of code-switching and its relation to linguistic competence based on communities with prevailing code-switching under equivalence, cannot be carried over just like that to different settings and code-switching behavior.
