The article focuses on the Matrix Language Frame (MLF) model of codeswitching (CS). This type of CS is defined as bilingual speech containing surface level morphemes from two or more languages. There can be switching between clauses within the same sentence and there can also inter-sentential switching. But such switching does not involve two grammars in contact, since there are chances that they can be within a clause. The MLF model leads to the 4-M model. Under the MLF model, there is a differentiation between content and system morphemes and their source languages in CS. The 4-M model then distinguishes among types of system morphemes and provides motivation for differences in their distribution. Content morphemes are the morphemes that assign or receive thematic roles in the clause. These roles are not assigned or received by system morphemes. Under the MLF model, one type of system morpheme must come from the matrix language in classic CS.
