ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the annotated catalogue of findings, highly descriptive in nature and undertakes the theoretical analysis of the data presented. The prefix type of negation raises the complications which are not at issue with amo; the switches of negation presented here are of the amo variety. A number of proposals have been advanced regarding the syntactic properties of this element and it discusses how it behaves in the code switching contexts. In Spanish-Nahuatl, a switch between a Spanish subject pronoun and a Nahuatl verb is allowed for the third person but is not allowed for the first or second person. The chapter explains its descriptive aspect, which asks how the Spanish-Nahuatl corpus differs from other corpora, and addressed throughout as well, drawing attention in each subsection to the degree to which the Spanish-Nahuatl corpus agrees with the basic descriptive boundaries that are reported.
