Processing of code-mixed sentences by two types of bilinguals: A comparison of code-mixers and non-code-mixers

This study was based on a reaction time (RT) experiment conducted to see if there were differences in RTs between code-mixers and non-code-mixers in a sentence verification task. Task 1 was a timed test in which Spanish-English bilingual code-mixers and non-code-mixers responded to computer-presented monolingual sentences and acceptable and unacceptable code-mixed sentences. Task 2 was a non-timed metalinguistic grammaticality judgment task in which the same subjects were asked to indicate if the code-mixed sentences presented in the timed task were acceptable or unacceptable code-mixed sentences.
