Abstract
This squib applies and extends insights from (Diasystematic) Construction Grammar to the code-switching and
loan-translation of English verbs (and verbal constructions) in US-German dialects. After presenting recent findings about the nature and
interaction of language contact phenomena, I introduce the constructional principles guiding the analysis and the data sources. I then
present a wide array of data and formulate hypotheses regarding the processes and motivations underlying each type, appealing to a
constructional and usage-based view of the bilingual’s mental lexicon.
