This doctoral dissertation focuses on Russian-English bilingualism and code-switching in New York City, applying the main functional models in code-switching research to data gathered in a field study the author conducted between 1998 and 2000. The data are quantified, and an attempt is made to correlate the linguistic competence of the speakers with their code-switching behavior.
