A spotlight on the matrix language approach to code switching : evidence from boumans monolingual approach

الملخص EN

The present article is an attempt to highlight the importance of one of the most influential approaches to code-switching in the bilingual speech.

Even if Myers- Scotton (1992) Matrix Language Frame model, is per se, one of the most applied model on language pairs cross linguistically, we consider Boumans Monoligual approach to code switching as a plausible models on many language pairs including Algeria Arabic/French code switching.

The results of this investigation revealed that the instances of Arabic/French code switching elicited from our corpus do fit within Boumans Monolingual Approach to code switching.
