2020 Turkish-German code-switching patterns revisited: What naturalistic data can(not) tell us Advances in Contact Linguistics: In honour of Pieter Muysken, Smith, Norval, Tonjes Veenstra and Enoch O. Aboh (eds.), pp. 237–260 | Chapter
This paper offers a review of what we know about Turkish-German code-switching patterns as found in naturalistic conversations, based on the typology of code-switching offered by Muysken (2000, 2013). Providing information about code-switching patterns that are commonly found in naturalistic… read more
2019 Chapter 11. Effects of dense code-switching on executive control Bilingualism, Executive Function, and Beyond: Questions and insights, Sekerina, Irina A., Lauren Spradlin and Virginia Valian (eds.), pp. 161–180 | Chapter
Bilingualism is reported to re-structure executive control networks, but it remains unknown which aspects of the bilingual experience cause this modulation. This study explores the impact of three code-switching types on executive functions: (1) alternation, (2) insertion, and (3) dense… read more
2019 Chapter 12. Predicting executive functions in bilinguals using ecologically valid measures of code-switching behavior Bilingualism, Executive Function, and Beyond: Questions and insights, Sekerina, Irina A., Lauren Spradlin and Virginia Valian (eds.), pp. 181–206 | Chapter
One of the factors claimed to impact executive functions in bilinguals is code-switching. New insights into how exactly code-switching affects executive functions can be obtained if attention is paid to the kind of code-switching bilinguals engage in, and not just the frequency of code-switching.… read more
2016 Effects of dense code-switching on executive control Bilingualism and Executive Function: An interdisciplinary approach, Sekerina, Irina A. and Lauren Spradlin (eds.), pp. 648–668 | Article
Bilingualism is reported to re-structure executive control networks, but it remains unknown which aspects of the bilingual experience cause this modulation. This study explores the impact of three code-switching types on executive functions: (1) alternation, (2) insertion, and (3) dense… read more
2013 Chapter 3. Measuring lexical diversity among L2 learners of French: An exploration of the validity of D, MTLD
and HD-D as measures of language ability Vocabulary Knowledge: Human ratings and automated measures, Jarvis, Scott and Michael Daller (eds.), pp. 79–104 | Chapter
In this study two new measures of lexical diversity are tested for the first time on French. The usefulness of these measures, MTLD (McCarthy and Jarvis (2010 and this volume) and HD-D (McCarthy and Jarvis 2007), in predicting different aspects of language proficiency is assessed and compared with… read more

This article evaluates how the different papers in this special issue fill a gap in our understanding of cognitive processes that are being activated when second language learners or bilinguals prepare to speak. All papers are framed in Slobin’s (1987) Thinking for Speaking theory, and aim to test… read more
