Code Switching

Code switching occurs when speakers alternate between two or more languages in a single conversation. It happens for reasons like controlling conversations between parents and children, expressing emotion, or the influence of Western culture. Code switching first emerged as a linguistic term and now occurs commonly between languages like English and Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, German, and others. It can happen within words, between sentences, or within a sentence. In the past, code switching had negative attitudes but is now more accepted.
