CODE-SWITCHING IN CONVERSATION

‘Altogether this is a most impressive book. It is a highly integrated collection

of current work…highly original, containing much unfamiliar but excellent

material. Its structure is very simple and helpful. I welcome this book as it

is likely to make a range of techniques which focus on conversational interaction

available to others…a book which focuses on the interactional issues in code-

switching is very timely…. The presentation of a large amount of material

drawn from a number of different language mixing situations is

excellent…should be of great interest to readers in a wide range of disciplines,

particularly anthropologists, social psychologists and linguists.’ Lesley Milroy,

University of Michigan

‘This innovative and in many ways fascinating collection of papers is the first

systematic comparative treatment of the communicative import of code-switching.

It clearly demonstrates that code-switching, wherever it is employed, counts

as a discursive strategy that achieves communicative ends by either building

on or violating what are commonly seen as fixed boundaries…. Recommended

reading for anyone interested in multilingualism, conversational analysis or

language use in general.’

John J.Gumperz, University of California, Berkeley

Code-switching, the alternating use of two or more languages within

conversation, has become an increasingly topical and important field of research.

This volume brings together contributions from a wide variety of

sociolinguistic settings in which this phenomenon is observed. It addresses

the structure and the function, but also the ideological values, of such bilingual

behaviour. The contributors question many views of code-switching on the

empirical basis of many European and non-European contexts. By bringing

together linguistic, anthropological and socio-psychological research, they

move towards a more realistic conception of bilingual conversational action.
