This book provides a detailed linguistic analysis of the communication between highly proficient bilingual couples, each consisting of a native speaker of English and of Swiss German. Combining the accounts of ten couples on their language use with an analysis of their actual linguistic behaviour, several areas of the partners' speech and interaction were closely examined. These include their language choice and language mixing, attitudes, expression of emotions, swearing, as well as their humour and laughter. In addition, the influence of the bilinguals' mother tongue and gender on their language use was explored. Thus, the study provides valuable insights into the language practices of established bilingual couples, while also contributing to the fields of fluent late bilingualism and gender research.

Ludwig Treiber (Lewis Driver) arrived in America in 1749 from Holland. He changed his name to Driver because that is the meaning of Treiber. He settled in Pennsylvania where he married Barbara Sprenkle and they had eight children. Information on their descendants is included in this volume. Present descendants live in Virginia, California, and elsewhere.
Many variant spellings of the surname and a lack of early records complicate determination of exact origins for this large family. There were two Conrad Hulveys, the one, of East Mt. Crawford, Virginia, born in 1740; the other of Shenandoah County, Virginia, date of birth unknown. The compiler presents extensive genealogical tables and a large quantity of photographs of the descendants of these two men named Conrad Hulvey.
