What is it about?

The present article wants to contribute to a better understanding of how and why Spanish-English bilinguals in the United States switch codes by focussing on the formation and the use of diminutive expressions. Using a dataset of diminutive constructions extracted from the Bangor Miami Corpus, the article investigates how the diminutive, which is formed and used in different ways in both Spanish and English, is used in bilingual speech.
