Malay-English Code-switching in a Discussion Forum

updated: 
Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - 11:59pm
Zaemah Abdul Kdir

Code-switching is a widespread phenomenon in a bilingual community and this issue has become one of the main focuses in the studies of bilingualism. The emergence of code-switching research in sociocultural linguistic is greatly contributed to Blom and Gumperz (1972) who introduced the terms situational code-switching and metaphorical code-switching. Since then, a lot of studies had been carried out which rendered mostly around conversational code-switching. However, this study focuses on Malay-English code-switching in online communication among students of higher learning in Malaysia. This research examines discourse functions of code-switching in computed-mediated communication.
