Code-switching
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
'The volume does remind us that sociolinguistics has long been convinced that language can tell us something not only about specific social phenomena, but also about the big questions of how cognition, interaction and social structuration are linked.' Journal of Sociolinguistics
'This excellent and engaging book is prefaced by a version of the Indian (or perhaps ultimately Chinese) story in which a number of blind men grasp different parts of an elephant (the trunk, the tail, the tusk), thus reaching divergent conclusions about the beast's salient characteristics. Penelope Gardner-Chloros uses this history to illustrate her sense that the concept of code-switching (CS) is understood and operationalised rather differently by scholars and researchers approaching it from various angles (formal linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics).' Brian Poole, sciencedirect.com
This book focuses on the phenomenon of code-switching, whereby bilingual speakers effortlessly use two or more languages, dialects or varieties in the same conversation. Drawing on a diverse range of examples it argues that code-switching can only be properly understood if we study it from a variety of linguistic perspectives.
