Abstract

Significant variation exists in bilinguals’ experiences with code-switching, from dense code-switching in multiple interactional contexts to minimal switching. Although recent research has demonstrated that a bilingual’s experience with code-switching is a crucial factor for determining both linguistic and cognitive behaviors, there currently is no commonly accepted method of measuring of a bilingual’s code-switching practices. Responding to this need, this paper presents a new tool to assess a bilingual’s experience and engagement with code-switching – the Bilingual Code-Switching Profile (BCSP) – and assesses its validity and reliability. The BCSP incorporates a multifaceted conceptualization of code-switching experience, drawing on previous research in bilingual proficiency, and addresses a bilingual’s code-switching history, use, proficiency, and attitudes. To assess the validity and reliability of the BCSP, Spanish–English bilinguals (N = 454) from a wide range of ages, ethnic backgrounds, national origins, and language dominance profiles completed the questionnaire. Results of an exploratory factor analysis and intraclass correlation on test-retest data (N = 248) demonstrate that the BCSP is a valid and reliable method of assessing a bilingual’s code-switching profile. The BCSP can be easily and practically incorporated into future research on bilinguals to provide a systematic measure of an individual’s code-switching profile.

双语代码转换概况(BCSP)
双语者的语码转换体验存在显著差异,从多种互动情境下的密集语码转换到最小语码转换。虽然最近的研究表明,双语者的语码转换经验是决定语言和认知行为的关键因素,但目前还没有普遍接受的测量双语者语码转换实践的方法。针对这一需求,本文提出了一种评估双语者语码转换经验和参与程度的新工具——双语语码转换量表(BCSP),并对其有效性和可靠性进行了评估。BCSP结合了语码转换经验的多方面概念化,借鉴了以往对双语能力的研究,并阐述了双语者的语码转换历史、使用、熟练程度和态度。为了评估BCSP的效度和信度,来自不同年龄、种族背景、民族血统和语言优势概况的西班牙语-英语双语者(N = 454)完成了问卷。对测试-重测数据(N = 248)的探索性因子分析和班级内相关分析结果表明,BCSP是评估双语者语码转换特征的有效和可靠的方法。BCSP可以很容易和实际地纳入未来的双语研究中,以提供一个系统的衡量个人的语码转换概况。

期刊介绍: LAB provides an outlet for cutting-edge, contemporary studies on bilingualism. LAB assumes a broad definition of bilingualism, including: adult L2 acquisition, simultaneous child bilingualism, child L2 acquisition, adult heritage speaker competence, L1 attrition in L2/Ln environments, and adult L3/Ln acquisition. LAB solicits high quality articles of original research assuming any cognitive science approach to understanding the mental representation of bilingual language competence and performance, including cognitive linguistics, emergentism/connectionism, generative theories, psycholinguistic and processing accounts, and covering typical and atypical populations.
