Code-Switching is an interactive film and game space that uses elements of deeply personal narrative and historical symbolism to illustrate the dynamics of how racism communicates through our actions and language, our systemic and institutional complicity with racism, and how one might negotiate with racism for survival. It is not meant to address a white audience, but is meant to de-center, de-legitimize, and problematize the concept of whiteness itself in a society that clings to racist values and policy. Using dark humor, I address several issues within this work: the racism and sexism I endured from my white father, our society’s inability to acknowledge the stories of black sexual assault survivors, the potential of networked technology and data to accelerate systematic oppression through unrelenting automated surveillance, white fragility, the consequences of resisting racist notions in conversation, and the pressure to perform an acceptable blackness for survival.

Code-switching (CS) refers to the use of two or more languages in the same interaction. Studies on CS have been abundant since the 1970s, and CS has been approached from several different perspectives, which has led to a scattered field with diverse methodologies and terminological debates. In spite of this, recuring patterns of CS have been identified, and several linguistic and extralinguistic factors have been found to affect the formation and distribution of these patterns. Unlike many other language contact phenomena, CS has been regarded as a mostly synchronic form of language contact, in which the linguistic systems stay separate. Some scholars, such as Muysken (2000, 2013) and Matras (2009), have tried to situate CS in the wider context of language contact phenomena. During the last decade, proponents of the usage-based approach to language contact (such as Backus 2013, 2015) have argued for a view that connects the diachronic and synchronic aspects of CS. Nontheless, a more comprehensive framework is needed.

This article analyses the function that code-switching plays in selected testimonies given at South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission which followed the country’s transition to democracy in 1994. In a number of testimonies, victims of human rights abuse under Apartheid code-switched into Afrikaans when recalling particularly offensive uses of language by the police. Within the code-switching literature, it is well recognised that a speaker’s choice of code, particularly for quoted speech, is a strategy for performing different kinds of local identities which index a range of social meanings and relationships (Álvarez-Cáccamo 1996, Koven 2001). Thus code-switching may serve a complex evaluative function although the meanings it generates are very context-dependent. In order to explore this role in the testimonies in this paper, I use the appraisal theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics (Martin & White 2005). I argue that on a number of occasions, code-switching into a particular variety of Afrikaans is used by testifiers as a strategy to invoke negative judgement: it has the effect of associating the police with a particular racist ideology and positioning them for our sanction. Further, it works together with other engagement resources to insert a recognisable historical voice into the text, thereby expanding the heteroglossic nature of the discourse while simultaneously allowing the speakers to signal their rejection of that voice and the ideologies it represents. In the current SFL literature, however, code-switching has not been noted as an appraisal resource. In the light of the examples from the TRC testimonies, I argue that, in multilingual contexts, code-switching has the potential to invoke complex evaluative meanings and should be included in the appraisal framework as an evaluative resource.

This review first appeared in International Journal of Bilingualism, 14, 3: 369-372, 2010. Readers of this journal are well aware of the explosion which the area of bi-/multilingualism/language contact has undergone in the past two decades. There are numerous new journals, conferences, handbooks and textbooks, and masses of monographs in the area. A central aspect of this study – one not clearly defined – is code switching. So why do we need a new book entitled Code-switching? It is a critica...

Abstract Monolinguals use various linguistic phenomena to guide prediction while comprehending. For bilinguals, the richer linguistic landscape provides additional resources. Code-switches (CS) are a particularly salient event, which could play a role in bilingual prediction. Despite the ubiquity and diverse functions of code-switching, experimental research has focused on CS processing costs, largely in comprehension ( Litcofsky & Van Hell, 2017 ). Despite apparent integration costs, code-switching can facilitate subsequent language processing, due to natural code-switching patterns. We illustrate this approach with two eye-tracking studies suggesting that code-switches are used as a cue that a less frequent or negative word follows. These studies underscore the need to integrate socio-pragmatic and corpus-modeling observations with experimentation to reach a comprehensive understanding of CS processing ( Myers-Scotton, 2006 ).

Abstract This chapter discusses code choice and code-switching, whether this code is a variety or a language. After an introduction and discussion of terminology, the chapter falls into two main parts. The first part examines structural constraints on classic code-switching; switching between different languages, when one of the languages is a variety of Arabic, and diglossic switching as a subcategory of code-switching. It discusses structural constraints on code-switching by examining different theories that can be applied to Arabic. It then provides a case study from the author's work on structural constraints on diglossic switching as part of code-switching. The second part explains the social motivations and discourse functions of switching in relation to Arabic. It covers classic code-switching and diglossic switching. This is followed by a case study of motivations for diglossic switching from the author's own work.

Abstract Code-switching is the active use of two or more languages by a single speaker within one conversation or clause. This chapter examines the social, discourse, and morphosyntactic characteristics of code-switching among Australian languages, as well as between these languages and English-based lects, and compares these findings to predictions made in the general contact literature. Code-switches comprising clauses or multi-word strings are discussed first, with a focus on their relevance to social and discourse structures. Single-word switches are then analysed. Those in syntactically-peripheral and syntactically-required positions are compared, as the latter are described in the literature as more constrained than the former. Interestingly, however, the data presented here indicate that neither of these switch types is consistently constrained beyond the rules of the monolingual grammars involved. It is therefore suggested that Australian code-switching patterns might be better examined through studies of the relative frequencies—rather than occurrence/non-occurrence—of different code-switch types.
