Críticas:

Reviews of the hardback: '... reads like an international who's who of the field. It covers all important dimensions of code-switching, all the main theoretical frameworks, and representatives of all the major 'schools'...' Michael Clyne, University of Melbourne

'This outstanding volume brings together surveys of the major theoretical and methodological approaches to code-switching by leading scholars of sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics. ... will immediately become an essential resource and stimulus for further work by students and established scholars alike.' Carol W. Pfaff, Freie Universität Berlin

'... well-written ... the breadth of topics ... makes this volume an essential resource ...' The Linguist List

'... a most welcome addition to the CS literature.' Language

'The Cambridge Handbook of Linguistic Code-switching succeeds in offering a little something for everyone ... whether the reader coming to the text works in linguistics, applied linguistics, or education research, and whether s/he reads a chapter, a section, a cross-section, or cover-to-cover, this edited collection offers new insights - and new quagmires - for students and researchers interested in the phenomenon of code-switching. Tout compte fait, a worthwhile read.' Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics

'On the whole, most of the material is reasonably clear, it is authoritatively presented, and it is packed with plenty of fascinating data, so it will undoubtedly offer an important resource that will be highly appreciated by researchers and students alike.' Journal of Sociolinguistics
