Abstract

Data on Dutch‐Turkish language‐mixing behavior of Turkish children growing up in The Netherlands are presented and analysed. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the descriptive models developed in research on language‐mixing are generalizable. It was found that the functional characteristics of the children's language‐mixing are compatible with earlier results. Structural analysis of the data, however, yielded results that shed considerable doubt on the universal applicability of surface structure constraint rules for sentence‐internal language‐mixing.
