Meanings
-
(countable, uncountable) The phenomenon or practice of alternating between two or more languages or language varieties.
As with many bilingual families, it was normal to observe frequent code-switching at our dinner table.
Within the English language, a good example of code-switching in daily life is weaving back and forth between African American Vernacular English and General American English.
In addition, our combined syntax-function approach sheds new light on a syntactic analysis of code-switching.
