"Usually, bimodal bilinguals are hearing children of Deaf adults (known as codas), who natively acquire both a sign language and a spoken language. Emmorey et al. asked American bimodal bilinguals to engage in several linguistic tasks with other, known bimodal bilinguals. This situation encouraged the use of both languages in narrative and conversation tasks. Emmorey et al. found that code switching occurred in about 6% of the participants’ productions.
However, about 36% of the time, the participants produced code blends, uttering one or more signs simultaneously with one or more spoken words."
