Résumé : This paper introduces ‘other-language hybrid quotation’ (OLHQ) and speculates that it is a rule-governed linguistic phenomenon. It looks to syntactic accounts of code-switching (CS) for elucidation of the ‘grammar behind’ the phenomenon. One such account, Poplack’s Equivalence Constraint, is tested against a corpus of 257 examples. It emerges that most of these comply with the constraint, though not all. Consequences are drawn concerning the relationship between OLHQ and CS, and suggestions are made for further research.
