Abstract

The purpose of the article is to examine the definition of code-switching, its context, and the situational factors influencing it. It also explores emphasis and emotional expression, pragmatic and strategic purposes, linguistic competence and vocabulary gaps, and language habitualization. Additionally, the article discusses the different types of code-switching, including inter-sentential, intra-sentential, tag switching, and situational switching, as well as its significance in bilingual communities. This research investigates how bilingual speakers use code-switching to connect with different people, adapt to social situations, and express their identity.
