Code Switching

Task: Investigate code-switching (CS) (from a sociolinguistic perspective) between bilingual people. You may record a bilingual conversation or find data from readily available sources, e.g. TV, radio, internet. Provide a transcription and clearly indicate instances of CS in your data. Choose one theory/model of CS discussed in class for your analysis. Note that the aim is to identify social functions of CS and not grammatical or cognitive aspects.
