switching

In linguistics, code-switching or language alternation occurs when a speaker alternates between two or more languages, or language varieties, in the context of a single conversation or situation. Code-switching is different from plurilingualism in that plurilingualism refers to the ability of an individual to use multiple languages, while code-switching is the act of using multiple languages together. Multilinguals (speakers of more than one language) sometimes use elements of multiple languages when conversing with each other. Thus, code-switching is the use of more than one linguistic variety in a manner consistent with the syntax and phonology of each variety. Code-switching may happen between sentences, sentence fragments, words, or individual morphemes (in synthetic languages). However, some linguists consider the borrowing of words or morphemes from another language to be different from other types of code-switching. Likewise, code-switching can occur when there is a change in the environment one is speaking. Code-switching can happen in the context of speaking a different language or switching the verbiage to match that of the audience. There are many ways in which code-switching is employed, such as when a speaker is unable to express themselves adequately in a single language or to signal an attitude towards something. Several theories have been developed to explain the reasoning behind code-switching from sociological and linguistic perspectives.

    Re-enabling ACC During a Trip

    I’ve got a question about turning ACC back on while driving. Scenario: I’m on the motorway with ACC set to 65 mph. If it turns off—say due to queuing traffic—when I want to turn it back on, it seems I have to either: Get the car back up to speed before switching ACC on, or Turn ACC on and...

    BRSK Broadband

    I was thinking of switching to BRSK for my broadband. I'm not a heavy user, the most is probably UHD streaming to the TV so the 150 sounds like it will be fine to me - double my current FTC connection, and symmetrical. The only downside I can see is they charge £5 a month for a fixed IP which...

    Auto switching to BT audio

    Hey guys, I recently got a 2023 MG ZS EV, I love it, but it does one little annoying thing. I have my phone connected to it via bluetooth, mainly just for calls, not often for music, I usually just listen to the radio. But whenever I get a notification of any kind on my phone, the infotainment...

    Demister and Traction Control

    Is it just me? There's an obvious button to turn on the windscreen demister, but turning it off appears to require you to go through a series of menus to get there, or voice command "turn climate control off". Am I missing something? Also, does the MG ZS EV LR have traction control? I seem to...

    Intelligent Octopus MG4 switching from Octopus Go

    Does anyone have a Zappi charger V3 and an MG4 long range and has recently switched over to Intelligent Octopus? Just wondering how it went. I don't want to switch if it's unreliable as switching back to Go would mean I need to wait 30 days under Octopus terms and conditions. Thanks.

    Considering Switching from MG5 LR (old version) to the new ZS Trophy. Any thoughts, advice?

    Have the LR for 2 years and it's been reliable and the range has been fine. Generally a decent car, but I really could do with some of the smart features in the newer models. My kids are coming out of the push chair phase so I can afford to lose a little space in the boot. But wondering if...

    drive mode auto switching without input

    When I try to switch the drive mode of my MG4 Long Range to 'sport' mode, after about 60 seconds it automatically reverts - but actually switches straight to 'snow' mode, which is frustrating as it's the polar opposite (sorry!) of what I want. Has anyone else experienced this? It happens every...
