Study Notes

Code Mixing and Code Switching

  • Code Switching: Alternating between two or more languages (or dialects) within a single conversation or sentence. This is a deliberate choice, often highlighting social connections or emphasizing nuances. It often involves switching both vocabulary, grammar, and syntax.
  • Code Mixing: Mixing elements from two or more languages within a single utterance. This is different from code switching as it's not always a conscious decision; the languages may blend, and the function (meaning) of the languages isn't always clear.
  • Key Difference: Code switching has a social/pragmatic implication; code mixing typically does not.

Types of Code Mixing

  • Situational Code Mixing: Language choice based on the context or situation. One language may be used in specific contexts, while another is used in completely different contexts. Changes may be sudden or gradual.
  • Conversational Code Mixing: Deliberate mixing of two languages without changing the topic. This is often used by bilinguals to emphasize solidarity with, or show belonging to, a particular social group.

Examples (Code Switching)

  • "Mom, can we go auf Urlaub to Florida this year, bitte?" (German + English) - This demonstrates fluency in both languages, using expressions for "going on vacation" from both.
  • If you have an exam next week, simdiden calismaya baslamalisin. (English + Turkish)
  • Gracias for the lovely gift. Esta awesome! (Spanish + English)
  • Pwedebatayo mag dinner sa Barney's Burgers later? I want protein! (Tagalog + English)
  • Are we eating chez ta mere demain? (English + French)
  • Saweyti I-homework tabaa ';Jt? (Arabic+ English)
  • No 'cdngdang celebrate caisinhnhat. (Vietnamese + English)
  • niyaoqu get pizza with me ma? (Mandarin + English)

Examples (Code Mixing)

  • Specific situations and conversational examples provided in the text. Note: These examples illustrate the mixing of English and Indonesian in various contexts, showing how both situational and conversational mixing occurred in a TV program.

Benefits of Code Switching

  • Social Solidarity: Communicating belonging to a social group.
  • Nuance and Emotional Expression: Accessing a wider range of words, expressions, or emotional tones available in multiple languages that can be effectively and powerfully communicated.
  • Increased Impact: More effective delivery of speech by drawing on a wider vocabulary.
