Based off the google dictionary, code switching refers to the practice of alternating between two or more languages or varieties of language in conversation.The dictionary definition showcases how people would talk using two or more languages or accents whenever they talk to others. If I were to compare the two versions, my version is different from the dictionary definition, but the same concept. I could see the term being used when we say different forms of our language to people in different environments. It could occur when you would use slang when talking to your friends, but talk more professionally when in the workplace talking to your boss. The same could go for when you are talking to your elders in a more respectful tone than you …show more content…
It's like when my parents would ,accidentally at times, blend in their own native language when talking english to me. My parents wanted me to learn their native language, so they both started mixing in their language with english. They eventually stopped for reasons i have no clue on, but to me, that seems like a good example of the dictionary definition.The exact time code switching was used was when my parents started talking to me in english with some native language in their speech. Another example comes from a youtube video called, “Denice Frohman - Accents”. According to Denice Frohman, her mother would blend in the english language with spanish words when talking to her. Her mother's accent is the one that is making her speech sound hispanic even though she is using speaking the english language with some spanish words mixed in. Near the end of her poem Denice Frohman started “code switching” as well. She started spicing up her speech with spanish words like “hermano”, “weba”, and “dale”.She was demonstrating how her family reacts during a get together when she started code switching. Using her mother as an example and using code switching at the end highlighted the dictionary definition of the term. For my definition, however, I would summarize the definition in my own words on how people use the term
In the article, “Learning How to Code Switch: Humbling, but Necessary,” I learned that I can relate to Eric Deggans to my own experience. When growing up I had to code switch, an example when I was in elementary and I was in Bilingual classes from Kindergarten to Third Grade. Then when fourth Grade hit my school wanted to switch me to an English class not a Bilingual classes anymore. My mom that day had a lot of thought about it and she said it was fine that the school suggested that, so I switched. The change was different because I couldn’t speak Spanish in my 4th grade English class anymore and I had to code switch to just speaking English to the rest of my classmates. And when I saw my Last 3rd grade bilingual class moving to 4th grade

Throughout history the Native Americans were mistreated by the Unites States Government, it wasn’t until America realized it needed the Native People to accomplish its victory against Japan.

I love coding in my free time and I do truly believe that I flourish when I find myself coding. The limits of what you can do with coding are next to non-existent, and the idea of a platform with infinite possibilities engrosses me and leads to me to work as efficiently as possible towards the end goal of creating a product in which I see infinite possibilities. On top of that, another possible contributing reason for why I think coding may allow me to flourish is that with the infinite possibilities (as I stated before) comes curiosity, a curiosity that has no conclusion. The feeling of curiosity I feel as I code has a cause and effect relationship with me in that it turns me onto new methods of coding or new languages of coding which then

Two African Americans are applying for the same job. One goes in speaking Standard American English (SAE); the other goes in speaking African American Vernacular English (AAVE). The interviewer can relate to the first African American; however, the interviewer cannot understand the second African American. The interviewer cannot understand why the person is dropping g’s, not using verb agreement, and using improper verbs such as finna. Can you guess who got the job? The first African American got the job because they code-switched, so the person interviewing them could understand what they were saying; whereas, the second African American didn’t get the job because although the interviewer understood what was being said it wasn’t professional. Code-switching opens up opportunities for those who use it.

Code Meshing is the process of speaking both formal and informal at the same time; where as code switching is the process of switching from speaking formal to informal, or informal to formal in order to fit in. I choose not to use either of those methods. I used to use code switching most of my life up until I went to high school. My parents taught me to code switch to show respect to my elders. You should not speak to elders the same way you would speak to your friends. I went to a Afrocentric school Sankofa Freedom Academy Charter School There we was taught to embrace our history and use Ebonics in our everyday language.
People may change their speed when they change from languages. Depending on the environment, they may change their speed without thinking. In Rodriguez’s perspective, “In public, my father and my mother, spoke a hesitant accented and not always grammatical English… at home, they returned to Spanish... the words would come quickly, with ease” (52). Namely, he is saying that his parent’s change their speed or the way they speak one language versus the other. In the change of environment of a community who only speaks one language, Bilingual speakers change the speed they are talking depending on the native language they know and come faster than the second language. Individually, I feel that speaking English I have a relaxed tone; however, in
In this world, there are a lot of languages used to communicate. Nation and cultural diversity are a source of variation in the languages. The diversity of the language used by a particular group is a factor of the occurrence of bilingualism. According to Grosjean (1984, p. 1) bilingualism is the use of two or more languages. The proficiency of bilingualism may vary depending on the exposure to the other users of language and opportunities to use the language. It is one of the factors of replacement of the language. This phenomenon known as code switching, it can occur as a whole, the incorporating elements of other languages in the language being used, or the turn of a variation of a language. Based on Poplack (1980) theory code switching is the alternation of two languages within a single discourse, sentence or constituent. Garrett (2010, p. 11) said that code switching is the most powerful feature of informal communication. Code switching happens when speakers speak in one language into another language as example when they
