Since we didn't get time to go through all of the questions last week, I thought I'd bring this one up to you all via our virtual round table:
Do we all agree with the author’s claim that “the hastening of changes in the direction of the regularization of paradigms, and the loss of one or more competing structures with closely related meanings is in any(*) way motivated by the bilingual’s need to lessen his cognitive load when having to communicate rather frequently in two or more languages…”?
(*)Just a side note: This “any” sounds deceptive to me in an affirmative sentence.
