Summary:

This volume brings together linguistic, psycholinguists, and sociolinguistic perspectives on code-switching. Featuring new data from five continents and languages with a wide range of linguistic affiliations, the contributions all address the role of social factors in determining the forms and outcomes of code-switching. This book is a significant addition to the empirical and theoretical foundations of the study of code-switching. The Series: Linguae & Litterae is a peer-reviewed series edited by the FRIAS School of Language & Literature. Its aim is to publish empirically and methodologically advanced texts in linguistics and literary studies that have originated from research in and around FRIAS. The focus is on empirical, quantitative and qualitative studies on language, and on the comparative, interdisciplinary study of literary phenomena in their cultural context, "linguae & litterae" also covers innovative fields of contact and synergy between modern linguistics and literary studies.
