Morpho-syntactic features of Modern Standard Arabic mix intricately with those of Egyptian Colloquial Arabic in spoken discourse. I study the lexical, phonological and syntactic features of imperfective verb morphemes using a corpus of nearly 1400 verbs collected from a total of three hours of spontaneous speech in religious, political/economic and sports interviews on four Egyptian satellite TV channels. The computational analysis of the data shows that morphemes from both varieties of Arabic combine in principled ways. Syntactic considerations play a critical role with regard to the code-switching between the negative marker and the verb. Directionality bias from colloquial to standard is evident in constraining the code-switch between the aspectual prefix, person prefix, and verb stem morphemes.
