To accomplish this, we recruited 38 HSSs to complete a written contextualized acceptability judgement task that contained PS in intra-sentential English/Spanish code-switched (CS) sentences.

Our results showed that de, 'from' was the preposition most likely to be accepted in PS, with para, 'for' being the least acceptable. We also replicated previous findings that CS directionality, i.e., the language of the clause and therefore preposition, played a significant role. Furthermore, we found that participants who reported no prior exposure to PS in Spanish rejected it in Spanish significantly more than those who reported having been exposed to it before. We highlight our methodological contributions to both CS acceptability judgement tasks and written contextualized tasks and the role that linguistic attitudes may play in future CS and PS research on HSSs. 22025-01-0120252025-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/318502https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.5565/rev/isogloss.506reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
