Code Switching: A sociolinguistic perspective

Mehr zum Buch

The book delves into the phenomenon of code-switching, highlighting its prevalence in bilingual communities where over half the population speaks multiple languages. It challenges the outdated notion that code-switching indicates a lack of linguistic competence, presenting it instead as a systematic and grammatically structured practice. This shift in understanding positions code-switching as a central topic in bilingualism research, reflecting the complexities and nuances of language use in diverse cultural contexts.
