Abstract

Code-switching is a widespread linguistic phenomenon observed in bilingual and multilingual communities around the world. It refers to the practice of alternating between two or more languages or dialects within a single conversation, sentence, or utterance. This paper examines the types, causes, and primary functions of code-switching, focusing on its sociolinguistic, cognitive, educational, and communicative roles. Understanding code-switching helps linguists, educators, and policymakers appreciate the complexity of bilingual communication
