Description

Introduction The aim of this paper is to provide a complete overview over the phenomenon of code-switching. In this paper, we will summarize the knowledge currently available on the discourse, linguistic and psycholinguistic aspects of code-switching. Such an overview can be used for different purposes: for seminar reports and papers, and for the preparation for exams in linguistics. The history of the research of code-switching has undergone various periods that have shown how complex the phenomenon of code-switching is. In the course of research of code-switching it has become clear that code-switching can be investigated from different perspectives. Researchers focussed on code-switching after they had realised that linguistic forms and practices are interrelated. And code-switching, in its turn, embodies not only variation, but the link between linguistic form and language use as social practice. Research from a linguistic and psycholinguistic perspective has focussed on understanding the nature of the systematicity of code-switching, as a way of revealing linguistic and potentially cognitive processes. Research on the psychological and social dimensions of code-switching has largely been devoted to answering the questions of why speakers code-switch and what the social meaning of code-switching is for them. The sociological perspective later goes on to attempt to use the answer to those questions to illuminate how language operates as a social process. Throughout the history of research on code-switching it has been proposed that it is necessary to link all these forms of analysis and that, indeed, it is that possibility that is one of the most compelling reasons for studying code-switching, since such a link would permit the development and verification of hypotheses regarding the relationship among linguistic, cognitive and social processes in a more general way (Heller, Pfaff 1996).
