It is quite commonplace for bilingual speakers to use two or more languages, dialects or varieties in the same conversation, without any apparent effort. The phenomenon, known as code-switching, has become a major focus of attention in linguistics. This concise and original study explores how, when and where code-switching occurs. Drawing on a diverse range of examples from medieval manuscripts to rap music, novels to advertisements, emails to political speeches, and above all everyday conversation, it argues that code-switching can only be properly understood if we study it from a variety of perspectives. It shows how sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, grammatical and developmental aspects of code-switching are all interdependent, and findings in each area are crucial to others. Breaking down barriers across the discipline of linguistics, this pioneering book confronts fundamental questions about what a 'native language' is, and whether languages can be meaningfully studied outside of the individuals who use them.
Code–switching is the use of two or more languages in the same conversation or sentence, and is the linguistic embodiment of the pluralistic groupings which are a fact of twenty–first century economies and lifestyles. Understanding code–switching is essential to understanding the new mixed identities which are taking over from the more traditional ones in our societies, and is hence of growing interest in disciplines such as sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics.
Code–Switching provides a thorough introduction to the topic from a multi–disciplinary perspective, incorporating views from sociolinguistics, grammatical theory and psycholinguistics. The text also cites examples of code–switched data and discusses methodology for analyzing it. The first comprehensive textbook available on code–switching, this book is an invaluable tool for both students and researchers.
