The study analyzes the Croatian speech of 100 bilingual adults in Melbourne, focusing on the incorporation of English words and structures into their Croatian. It compares these English-origin forms to contemporary models of code-switching and highlights grammatical deviations from standard Croatian. The findings suggest potential impacts of contact-induced language change, making this work a significant contribution to the understanding of code-switching and the dynamics of languages in contact.
