Joseph Gafaranga Libros

Language alternation among bilingual speakers challenges traditional grammatical and socio-functional theories. This book utilizes Ethnomethodology to explore how such alternation is feasible in practice, providing a critical analysis of existing frameworks. It delves into the complexities of bilingual communication and offers insights into the underlying mechanisms that allow for this linguistic phenomenon.

Joseph Gafaranga argues that the notion of bilingualism itself must be redefined so that bilingualism can be seen as consisting of diverse interactional practices and investigated as such. This book details the rehabilitation effort which has been undertaken to get us where we are today.
