Aspects of Innovative Language Use in Femi Adedina’s <i>Highway to Nowhere</i>

Code switching and mixing, lexical transfer, loan blend and semantic extension are innovations in the novel of Femi Adedina’s, Highway to Nowhere (HTN), the text used in this paper. Barbaresi’s Morphopragmatics, which integrates morphology and pragmatics, is the theoretical perspective. Our analysis focused on the aspects of code switching/ mixing, lexical transfer and loan blend used in HTN. Yoruba codes that cannot be pragmatically translated into English language codes but switched and mixed were analysed. Meaning of terms that contain semantic extension, figurative/proverbial and deep traditional Yoruba meanings were explicated. Lexical transfer of items like mágùn, Ìkòkò, Àkosèjáyé, etc., were done to locate the novel in Yoruba traditional and cultural contexts. The study concluded that writers of literary works in English as a second language should preserve the sacred codes/names that things are called in their cultures in the process of translating their experiences to other languages.

Features of Functioning of the Erzya-Russian Bilingualism in the Aspect of Code switching

This article is devoted to the study of Erzya-Russian bilingualism in the aspect of code switching on the territory of the Republic of Mordovia. The aim of the study is to present the types of intra-phrase code switching based on the material of narrative recordings of Erzya-Russian bilingual children. Special attention is paid to the study of the peculiarities of the functioning of native and non-native languages in a bilingual society, the mechanisms of code switching in children, taking into account the (non-) correspondence of structures in two languages and different strategies of native speakers’ response when using two languages in one unit of discourse. The source base of this study was the materials of the spontaneous narrative collected by the author of the article in 2017-2019. The informants are bilingual children aged 4 to 7 years inclusive. The research methods were the descriptive method of factual material, narrative sampling, included and not included observation.

A Review and Critical Analysis of Qualitative Methodologies and Data-Collection Techniques Used for Code-Switching Research

<i>Code-switching is considered a language contact phenomenon that has long been a subject of scholarly investigation. This paper provides a review of common and nascent qualitative techniques often used to examine code-switching. Such a collection of salient qualitative methodologies could provide researchers with both prevailing and new frameworks and avenues for examining myriad types and aspects of code-switching. Numerous studies are highlighted with summaries of their data collection procedures, analysis techniques, and results. Also included are rationales for applying qualitative approaches to code-switching studies – especially poignant, as a trend to utilizing more experimental research designs have been recently observed regarding language contact phenomena. This paper will also discuss which types of research designs effectively combine techniques of acquiring code-switching data with rigorous approaches to data analysis to render new understandings of code-switching</i>

Code-switching using aided AAC: toward an integrated theoretical framework

Multilingual individuals who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) often shift between language environments and speakers of different languages; thus, code-switching (or alternating between languages or dialects within or across contexts) becomes necessary for effective communication. Recently, AAC product developers have responded to this need by building multilingual AAC systems; however, research in multilingualism and AAC is lacking. In this paper, we discuss theoretical and practical implications for research related to code-switching using aided AAC. We use available literature investigating the sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, and usage-based aspects of code-switching in spoken or signed modalities as a starting point for considering code-switching using aided AAC. We present examples illustrating the varied expression of codeswitching across aided AAC modalities and discuss directions for future research.

Teachers’ Perceptions on Code-Switching in EFL Classroom Discourse

Abstract Feasibility of maintaining an educational sustainable development (ESD) depends on exploring teachers’ concepts on their common practices in classroom settings. Speakers in multilingual contexts commonly switch their codes, languages, during their numerous social interactions. Nowadays, the phenomena, code switching, has expanded to cover any situation in which speakers switch from one accepted code into another. Through this perspective, various studies have been conducted to investigate different aspects of code-switching in EFL classrooms. The present study qualitatively investigated teachers’ perceptions on code-switching in their classrooms addressing two research questions, namely what types of code-switching EFL teachers were practicing in EFL classrooms and what were their perceptions on their code-switching. Four EFL teachers participated in the study. The analysis of the data collected through manual and electronic observations as well as structured interviews, indicated that intra-sentential and inter-sentential types of code-switching were practised throughout the classroom teaching processes. The main motives for resorting to code-switching were found to be EFL students’ lack of linguistic proficiency, keeping solidarity with the students and managing the classrooms.

Bilingualism in the Cambrai Homily

The Cambrai Homily (Cambrai, Bibliothèque municipale, MS 679 [s. viii2] ff. 37rb–38rb) is a short prose homily found between two chapters of the Collectio canonum Hibernensis; as the Homily is incomplete, it has been suggested that it was copied from a stray leaf inserted into the exemplar of the Collectio. The Homily itself is estimated to date to the seventh or first half of the eighth century. More salient for the purpose of this anthology, however, is the fact that the Homily code-switches between Latin and Old Irish. Some claim that this text provides us with the earliest record of continuous Irish prose; as such it has long been an important source for early Irish linguistics, as well as evidence for sermons in the seventh-century Irish Church. Nevertheless, the aspects of code-switching between Old Irish and Latin in the Cambrai Homily remain underexplored. This article provides an assessment of existing perspectives on the relationship between Latin and Old Irish in this homily, and offers a fresh interpretation of the code-switching that takes place.

A Sociolinguistics of Code Mixing and Code Switching Between English and Indonesian Language at STKIP PGRI Sidoarjo

This study was aimed to analyze Code Mixing and Code Switching between English and Indonesian Language Done by the Lecturer of Advance English Grammar Subject at the 5th Semester Students of STKIP PGRI Sidoarjo. The study was designed in the form of qualitative descriptive study. The subjects in this study were the lecturer in the 5th semester of students of STKIP PGRI Sidoarjo who teaches the Advance English Grammar subject. The data were collected by using the methods of recording and writing on note of what lecturer said in teaching learning process, then collected it and classified based on grammatical aspect of code mixing, code switching, sociolinguistic aspect, and the function (phatic function) of code mixing and code switching. A grammatical focused on the structural aspect of code mixing and code switching. While, a sociolinguistic approach was concerned with the role of social factors of code mixing and code switching. The result of this research showed that the grammatical aspect of code mixing and code switching are extra-sentential/tag mixing and switching, inter-sentential mixing and switching, and intra word of code mixing and code switching. Sociolinguistic aspects of code switching are situational and metaphorical switching. The functions of code switching were referential function, directive function, phatic function and metalinguistic function. But this study only focused on phatic function to clarify or emphasize a message. The achievement of this research can be used to make easier in teaching foreign language and can be used as additional source and also can develop code mixing and code switching field in the next research.

A KÓDVÁLTÁS LEXIKAI-SZEMANTIKAI ASPEKTUSAI A VAJDASÁGI MAGYAR NYELVBEN

A kódváltás során a kétnyelvűek kommunikációjában a kölcsönelemek (főleg lexémák és frazémák) sokféle típusa jelenik meg. E témakör tipológiai-terminológiai kérdéseinek áttekintése rendkívüli sokféleséget mutat, hiszen itt a klasszikus, diakrón nyelvi fogalomtár esetenként összemosódik a szociolingvisztikai szempontú megközelítés elemeivel. Éppen ezért kutatásunk során a kontaktológiában alkalmas rendszerezés szempontjai voltak elsődlegesek, a korpuszban fellelt kölcsönszó-típusokat vettük számba: a közvetlen kölcsönzés, az alaki és a jelentésbeli kölcsönzés előfordulásait, illetve egyéb kombinált formákat (alaki-jelentésbeli, túlhelyesbítéses típusok) is elemeztünk. A kódváltás előfordulását lehetőség szerint kontextusukban vizsgáljuk, így a lexikai-szemantikai elemzés mellett a kódváltás előfordulásának alapvető pragmatikai kérdései is felmerülnek, értelmezhetővé válnak.

Social aspects of Code-Switching: An analysis of Pakistani Television advertisements

Code switching is the shift from one language to the other or use of more than one language during conversations or writings. The present research deals with intra-sentential (within one sentence) code switching in the language of television advertisements. To facilitate the socio-linguistic analysis, 12 advertisements of beauty and health care products have been recorded and transcribed from four television channels. The linguistic analysis focuses on the social aspect (gender, geographical background, socioeconomic class, and education) of code switched language in these advertisements. From the analysis and findings, it is concluded the language of advertisements for beauty and health care products reflects a change in linguistic practices and preferences of Pakistani consumers.

Code-Switching in Gol & Gincu

There are a lot of research concerning code-switching, both in the local and international context. However, this study examines a different aspect of code-switching. It analyses the use of code-switching in the media specifically in a movie. The study aims to understand code-switching in the mediated form in a Malaysian movie; Gol & Gincu. The study examines the macro and micro functions of code-switching in this movie. It was found that some of the macro functions of code-switching included Speech Accommodation, Construction of Identity and to Exhibit Power. Within these macro functions, there were a variety of micro functions embedded within the discourse. The significance of the study is on how the macro and micro functions of code-switching in the movie Gol & Gincu may be reflective of code-switching in real life communication in Malaysian Society particularly the urban community.

‘Stressed and sexy’: lexical borrowing in Cape Town Xhosa

Codeswitching by African language speakers in South Africa (whether speaking English or the first language) has been extensively commented on and researched. Many studies analyse the historical, political and sociolinguistic factors behind this growing phenomenon, but there appears to be a little urgency about establishing a database of new lexicons to inform first-language interventions in education and public information programmes. In this article I use research conducted in three townships in Cape Town to focus on one aspect of codeswitching, namely lexical borrowing, in one of South Africa's languages, Xhosa. The central argument tested in this article is that lexical borrowing in Xhosa is driven by a need to simplify expression by using syllabically shorter English words. I test this hypothesis by (a) establishing the average syllabic difference between Xhosa and English; (b) seeking lexical responses to a set of pictures; (c) analysing lexical borrowing in the main Xhosa radio station. In addition, the article uses the data collected to elucidate the link between the Xhosa speakers’ lexicon and the concepts it needs to describe, and then suggests further possible reasons for the choice of English over Xhosa.

Do We Codeswitch or Codemix in Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka has three languages, Sinhala, Tamil and English, and among bilinguals, codeswitching is common. Research for many years has focused on the sociolinguistic and grammatical aspects of codeswitching. However these two traditions leave a gap in research as analyses of language selection revolve around participants, topics or settings and not the place within the interactional episode in which languages alternate. Conversations instead should be analysed for patterns of codeswitching between conversational moves or intonation units. Also, though codeswitching is used synonymously with codemixing, recent research has given new meaning to the expression codemixing: using two languages such that a third, new code, emerges, in which elements from the two languages are incorporated into a structurally definable pattern. This paper uses a discourse analytic approach to explore the possibility that in conversations, codeswitching between Sinhala and English is in transition to ‘codemixing’, signalling a new cultural pattern of discourse in Sri Lanka.

The IC model and code-switching

In his contribution Green proposes a very interesting model of bilingual speech processing, the inhibitory control (IC) model. The model's aim is to account for the way in which bilinguals control their two language systems. Although the model was not developed to account for code-switching, the author explicitly goes into implications of his model for code-switching and this makes it very relevant for linguists working in that field. Until now, psycholinguistic aspects of code-switching have received far less attention in the literature than the syntactic aspects of code-switching. The model therefore offers an excellent starting point for incorporating insights from psycholinguistics into code-switching research and vice versa.

Conversational code-switching

Rules of speaking and, more generally, norms of interaction are both culture-specific and largely unconscious. People who are bilingual often switch from one of their codes or languages to the other without being in the least aware of this. In this article the aspect of code-switching in an urban situation is discussed. It shows that the fluent alternation between two languages normally requires a high level of bilingual competence. Code-switching involves enough knowledge of two (or more) grammatical systems to allow the speaker to draw from each system only those rules which the other shares, when alternating one language with another.

Code-Switching or Borrowing? English Elements in the Dutch of Dutch-American Immigrants

Abstract Scholarly publications about Dutch immigrant speech are practically non-existent -- excepting the work of Clyne (1967, 1972, 1985, 1987). This applies particularly to Dutch speakers who immigrated in the 19th and the early 20th Century. A 75-hour corpus of language data from Dutch immigrants to the United States is currently being investigated systematically at the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences' Institute for Dialectology. The general purpose of the project is to gain more insight in the nature of Dutch language and dialect maintenance or loss and of English influence on the language of these Dutch immigrants. This paper will focus specifically on English lexical elements in the speech of the first-generation immigrants (appr. 12,000 English elements in the Dutch of 97 speakers). First a diagnostic set of characteristics for code-switching, borrowing and nonce borrowing will be presented, based in part on discussions in the recent literature on other-language lexical elements in speech in contact situations and in part on a thorough review of the Dutch-American data. These characteristics do not only concern the formal linguistic level, but also the discourse, processing and extralin-guistic levels. They form the basis of a systematic classification of the various types of English elements found in the data. Next, a number of problem cases will be discussed -- with examples -- which defy easy classification in one of the three categories of other-language elements. Finally, an attempt will be made to formulate a more generalized model for the analysis of other-language lexical elements, consisting of a diagnostic and an analytic layer. The diagnostic layer assigns an element to one of the three categories of other-language elements. The analytic layer is specifically concerned with the analysis of code-switching, comprising not only a categorization of formal linguistic phenomena, but also a categorization of functional sociolinguistic factors determining the use of switched elements. Given the variety of linguistic as well as extralinguistic aspects which apparently determine the use of switched elements, it seems unlikely that one single set of constraints could be refined enough to fully account for linguistic as well as extralinguistic aspects of code-switching. Therefore, a case will be made for the establishment of more than one set of constraining factors on the use of switched elements. Instead of limiting constraints on code-switching to the formal linguistic -- in particular the syntactic -- level, separate constraining factors for the discourse, processing, functional, and motivational level might be formulated, in order to gain full insight in the process of code-switching.

Toward a probabilistic automata model of some aspects of code-switching

As Kolers (1972) has pointed out, the study of bilingualism offers a distinctive way to study some of the mental activities underlying the way that people use language. Code-switching (the introduction into the context of one language stretches of speech which exhibit primarily the other language's phonological and morphological features) offers a unique opportunity for studying some of the more complicated aspects of bilingual speech, particularly regarding the momentary choice of language. Researchers whose work has influenced this paper include Haugen, Weinreich, Mackey, Fishman, Rayfleld, Clyne, Hasselmo, Gumperz, Diebold, Lance, Valdés-Fallis, Pfaff, and Timm. Among the list of poorly understood phenomena in code-switching are (I) seemingly unpredictable switching, and (2) the possibility of formal, complex rules underlying different code-switching patterns. It is these open questions which modelling might illuminate.
