Abstract

Abstract: The present study discusses the contact between English and Russian, which has given rise to widespread code switching among Russians. The paper looks at the three variables, which affect Russian–English code switching and code mixing among bilinguals. The three affecting factors are: (1) the social contexts in which each language is learned; (2) the specific function for which each language is customarily employed; and (3) the efficacy of a language as a communicative tool in the society where it is used.
