Codeswitching Triggers Team

Identification and Analysis of Conversational Codeswitching Triggers

This team brings together a Center postdoctoral scholar in information theory with two PhD students and two undergraduates, a Channels scholar and National Math Alliance fellow working on new theoretical models and data analysis to better understand the mechanisms of codeswitching between two languages. Little research has been done to date on this subject, and this team's unique interdisciplinary composition and expertise aims to tackle this problem.
