Cover Story: Situations of language contact can result in various outcomes. It is important to study various types of contact situations in order to better understand which factors contribute to the ways in which these outcomes concretely manifest in language. This study investigates the contact effects of codeswitching and linguistic convergence in the speech of the English–Spanish bilingual community of Miami, making use of intensification as a testing ground. Intensification constitutes an analytic–synthetic conflict site between the grammars of English and Spanish with regard to the concrete strategies preferably used in both languages. In settings of bilingual language use and codeswitching, it is of interest to observe which intensifying strategies speakers use when they have two diverging systems of intensification at their disposal. View this paper
