This book presents a comparative study on plurilingual
code-switching (CS) in Italy, Croatia and Scotland-UK, based on
Italian in contact with four standard varieties (Spanish, English,
Philipino and Croatian) and five non-standard varieties (Arbereshe,
Occitan, Calabrese, Istrovenetian and Chakavski). It intends to
fill a gap in the literature by proposing an interdisciplinary
perspective, as most studies are concentrated on bilingual CS and
are grounded just in one approach (mostly sociolinguistic or
psycholinguistic); it also presents a new mixed key for CS data
analysis, going beyond the traditional neat dichotomies defining CS
as "acceptable or grammatical vs unacceptable or ungrammatical". A
brand-new model, the Integrated Model of Plurilingual
Code-Switching (IMPCS), which recommends the use of five-graded
scales in informants' judgments, is proposed. It includes
socio-psycholinguistics (social status and prestige of the
languages in contact, official status of minority language,
symmetrical/bi- or pluridirectional or asymmetrical/unidirectional
kind of contact, language mode, claimed CS practice, explicit
attitudes and acceptability judgements) and lexicalist variables.
