Description
First Published in 1999. Code switching is widely used in bilingual communities worldwide, and has been found in government documents, literature, religious works, and song. Pursuing this aim here, chapter 1 addresses the relevance of the study of code switching for education and schooling, focusing on ways in which a misunderstanding of code switching may lead to tacit tracking effects for language-minority children.
Reviews / Votes
"MacSwan gives a comprehensive review of the relevant literature. His approach rests on a well-defined theory of language structure, and his clear elaboration of it is notable." -- Marjory Meechan Language in SocietyMore details
