This article explores the role of usage frequency in the structure of language mixing by the application of corpus-linguistic and statistical methods. The goal of the study is to reveal that the frequency of a lexical item and the frequency with which it occurs with other items account for its use in bilingual speech. To achieve this goal, I analyze German monolingual and German-Russian mixed adjective-modified nominal constituents in otherwise Russian discourse in a corpus of Russian-German bilingual speech collected from fluent bilinguals in Russian-speaking communities in Germany. My findings show that many of German nominal constituents, also called embedded-language islands, are recurrent A-N combinations. However, in the absence of sequential associations between the involved words, the adjectives may be realized in Russian or in German. In light of this evidence, I suggest two mechanisms underlying the production of embedded-language islands: retrieval of a multiword chunk and co-activation.

词汇频率和共现频率预测嵌入语言岛在双语语音中的使用:俄德代码混合中的形容词修饰名词成分

本文通过应用语料库语言学和统计方法探讨了使用频率在语言混合结构中的作用。该研究的目的是揭示一个词汇项目的频率以及它与其他项目一起出现的频率是它在双语语音中的使用原因。为了实现这一目标,我在从德国俄语社区的流利双语者那里收集的俄德双语语音语料库中分析了在其他俄语话语中德语单语和德语-俄语混合形容词修饰的名词成分。我的研究结果表明,许多德语名义成分,也称为嵌入语言岛,是反复出现的 AN 组合。然而,在所涉及的词之间没有顺序关联的情况下,形容词可能会用俄语或德语实现。
