Code-switching (linguistic)

0.00 (0 votes)

Document Description

Code-switching (CS) refers to the mixing, by bilinguals (or multilinguals), of two or more languages in discourse, often with no change of interlocutor or topic. Such mixing may take place at any level of linguistic structure, but its occurrence within the confines of a single sentence, constituent or even word, has attracted most linguistic attention. This article surveys the linguistic treatment of such intra-sentential switching.
