Surprisal Predicts Code-Switching in Chinese-English Bilingual Text (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new study examines the propensity of bilinguals to switch languages . word surprisal and word entropy are important predictors of code-switching . |
| Approach: | They propose high cognitive effort as a reason for code-switching . they use a computational model of surprisal and word entropy to model code-changing . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model shows that word surprisal, but not entropy, is a significant predictor . sentence length is also a predictor, which has been related to sentence complexity . |
