Book Description
Codeswitching Worldwide II is a collection of contributions by international scholars on the theoretical and pragmatic aspects of language mixture analysis. In the professional literature language mixture is referred to as codeswitching and the eleven chapters of the present volume reveal the most recent approaches to the field at its best. A 19-page long introduction discusses the merits of each chapter and serves as a lead-in to the treatment of the mixed language events that are here included. A wealth of data cited in the original language as well as in English show the unique nature of this kind of language behaviour as it occurs worldwide. Section One addresses the theoretical aspect of present day codeswitching research, whereas the remaining sections show in great details how codeswitched speech/writing is executed and how it can be described within the framework of current sociolinguistic theory. The book is invaluable for academics and advanced language students alike.
