Code-switching

Often bilingual speakers talking to each other will code switch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code-switching (Links to an external site.)) – they will go back and forth between speaking both of the languages they are fluent in.

Provide an example of where you have seen this (describing it, asking a friend who does it, or showing a clip/video is fine) and try to come up with reasons why you think bilinguals often do this. What contexts do you think it is most likely to occur in? When do you think it is less likely to occur? Can you think of any social implications for code switching?

When commenting on classmates’ posts comment on how it is different or similar to the examples and reasons you provided.
