O knihe

This study "Code Mixing and Code Switching Among Etch-English Bilinguals" was set to find out the use of code mixing and code switching, in both formal and informal settings of Etch-English bilinguals using two domains: education and religion. It examined the types of code mixing / switching, the syntactic positions of code mixing, the probable reason and the impacts of code mixing and code switching on the use of English among Etche bilinguals. The study was based on the subjects' performance on the use of the code.The researcher collected data from the utterances of the subjects from the sampled schools and churches through observation and these were analyzed using Hymes' (1974) theory of communicative competence as the theoretical frame work and Halliday's (1961) theory of systemic grammar to account for the occurrences of code mixing. Our findings showed that in formal settings, the bilingual code tended to mix more frequently but etch etch code switch to English more frequently than in informal settings.
