Turns of Phrase: Denglisch
On the bookshelf: The Joys of Yinglish by Leo Rosten, McGraw-Hill (1989).
Raises a point in connection with bilingual interpolation. We've been talking about the speaker incorporating a second tongue's words; he might instead adopt its characteristic syntax and stress-patterns. Is suspect the latter may be far more common.
