Given that the factors giving rise to CS vary from one country to the other, as well as from one person to the other, CS is found to be a speaker-dependant behaviour, where the frequency by which the foreign language is embedded differs across speakers.

Results show that using a predictive model results in more natural CS sentences compared to the random approach, as reported in human judgements.
