Examples

“1998, RELC Journal, Volumes 29-30, SEAMEO Regional Language Centre, page 190, Hendrik Boeschoten discusses the questions of codeswitching and language change and the possibility of a codeswitching norm.”

“2004, Michelle Hall Kells, Valerie M. Balester, Victor Villanueva, Latino/a Discourses, Boynton/Cook Publishers, Heinemann, page 27, What these beliefs fail to account for is the fact that codeswitching is a universal phenomenon of language contact, a mechanism of language shift as well as language change (Myers-Scotton 210).”

“We deal only with the clause, because it is only within the clause that the language varieties involved in codeswitching are in contact.”
