In the year 2017, code-switching is a trait commonly found amongst most people in the world. If you were to ask someone if they believe they code-switch you may two answers; one or the other. “What is code-switching” or “NO (with attitude) I do not code-switch”.

Gerald Croft is an aristocrat; the son of ‘Lady Croft’. Aristocracy was social class considered the highest of that society. Therefore, he is above the Birlings socially. At the beginning of Act 1, Mr Birling told Gerald that his mum, ‘while she doesn’t object to my girl, feels you might have done better socially’. Mr Birling knows that his parents were not particularly impressed by the engagement ,which may be why they declined the invitation to the dinner, and he tries to impress him by saying how he might get a knighthood. Mr Birling sees Gerald as an asset for not only his company (as Gerald works at his father 's company, Crofts Limited, which is both bigger and older than Mr Birling’s company) but an opportunity for him to climb higher in the social system. This attitude contrasts to Gerald’s attitude a bit because he was prepared to marry Sheila, despite her lower social position. The fact that Gerald is younger than Mr Birling could be the reason for him being non

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

In Anything Can Happen, George Papashvily tells the tale of his first few months in America. Because he tells his story in retrospect, he could have written the sociolinguistics and grammar in standard American English. Instead, he writes in broken languages and employs code switching. George Papashvily uses this technique for the purpose of humor and activism.

The origin of code switching can be traced back to multiple scenarios. Around the 1860s slaves were declared free in America. W.E.B Du Bois and Anna Julia Cooper were firm believers that who embraced assimilation and saw higher education as the cure-all to racialized problems. Du Bois, in particular, is famous for his assertion that it would be the “Talented Tenth” of the race who would lead blacks to a better life.

Manus is her speech therapist, teacher, and close friend and is adamant about Sarah’s progession in the language. “ We’re doing very well. And we’re going to try it once more- just once more. . . Come on, Sarah. . . Head up. Mouth open” ( Friel 2). Through Manus’ proding, the reader gauges how set back Sarah’s character is to the rest of the Irish social and verbal society. She can barely speak her name and is too shy in front of other characters to even try to express herself orally. Through the inability of Sarah to talk, one can notice the distinction between those of the Gaelic-speaking background and those who speak English. Gaelic, a now almost dead language, can be seen as a ‘ dumb’ language that only ‘ dumb’ individuals like Sarah speak, and because she can not articulate her Gaelic phrases correctly, Friel lowers her character even further below the ‘ dumb’ Gaelic class as a unintelligible

This quote is talking about John wondering and asking why everyone is laughingstock him and his dad and Provost

Mary makes it evident that they, “had been at one accord to hurry through life, not to always be skimping and saving. They saw their neighbours buy more land and stock than they did, without discontent” (Cather 7). Cather uses a lighthearted, satisfied tone to convey the Rosickys contentedness regarding their life on the farm. This tone helps readers understand that one can feel fulfilled without having to “skimp” and “save” their money, and that wealth is not necessarily a measure of one’s success. Later in this passage, Mary recalls a story of when, “the creamery agent came to the Rosickys to persuade them to sell their cream, [and] told them how much money the Fasslers, their nearest neighbors, made on their cream last year.

Thesis: Code-switching is universal and key to society, it has the power to influence one’s identity and assimilate to a different type of culture, communicate comfortably , and change someone's perspective of an individual. Topic sentence 1: In a society where English is a dominant language over other native languages code-switching is necessary to assimilate with a group of people or in the community.

"It's shit being Scottish! We're the scum of the fucking earth! Some people hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We're the ones what were colonised by wankers. We couldn't even pick a decent bunch of people to be colonised by."

He is less sure with the "gypsy talk," helpful with the rhyming slang--"luscious glory" for "hair" (rhyming with "upper story) and "pretty polly" for "money" (rhyming slang with "lolly" of obscure origin)--and observant with the amputations (such as "guff" for "guffaw," "sarky" for "sarcastic," and "sinny" for "cinema"), although his glossing "pee and em" as "pop and mom" does scant justice to Burgess's skill in demoticizing

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
