Les As. esquissent ici une analyse alternative basee sur les principes generaux de la structure syntagmatique et rejetant les contraintes specifiques au changement de code. Cette analyse soutient la projection de la structure syntaxique a partir du lexique et la distinction complement/adjoint

This article presents an overview of the terms and the structural and social facets of code-switching as well as its significance during bilingual language acquisition. Research into language contact and its various manifestations has been vibrant and fruitful, bringing together linguists from all subfields of linguistics. The last three decades have seen a shift in code switching research, moving from descriptive studies of the social dynamics of bilingualism and code switching to looking at the structure of mixed code discourse and its implications for theories of syntax and language acquisition.

Today, estimates of the number of languages spoken in modern Iran vary, with numbers ranging from fifty-four to seventy-six living languages. This chapter presents a general description of societal bilingualism, how bilingual communities come about, the relationship between language and identity in multilingual contexts, and how best to describe the kind(s) of bilingualism found in Iran, including the use of English. The chapter then turns to bilingualism in Iran from a historical perspective, with the goal of understanding why there are so many languages in present-day Iran. Finally, it addresses the status of English in pre- and post-revolutionary Iran and issues of language maintenance.
