This paper deals with two compromise strategies: 1) "Embedded Language Islands" and 2) "bare forms" in codeswitching (CS) within the CP (projection of Complementizer). >ese elements are discussed within the fnmeuork of the hlalrix Language Frame hlodel (hlLF model), a model explicated in hfyers-Scotton (1993) and extended in hlyers-Scotton and Jake (1995). While both EL Islands and bare forms are compromise strategies in CS, both are permissible options under the provisions of the hlLF model; this paper shows how the hlLF model provides an explanatory account for their occurrence. However, more importantly, the analysis of compromise strategies in CS has implications for how linguists should approach 1 ) differences across languages and 2) the nature of linguistic structure within a language - in particular, what levels of linguistic structure (it., lexical vs. S-structure) seem to be the most significant in regard to contributing to grammatical structure.
