Annotation

This quantitative analysis explores patterns of Tunisian Arabic/French code-switching and the possible consequences for contact-induced change in Tunisian Arabic. It aims at explaining the degree of the occurrence of code-switching across education levels and gender lines and at evaluating its role in the transfer from French into Arabic, both at lexical and structural planes.
