Abstract

This article examines the phenomena of code-switching and code-mixing, which occur in bilingual or multilingual communities. Code-switching involves alternating between two or more languages or dialects in a conversation, while code-mixing refers to the blending of languages or dialects within a sentence or phrase. Both of these linguistic behaviors have practical and sociocultural implications in multilingual communication. This article outlines the definitions, characteristics, functions, and examples of these phenomena and discusses their role in facilitating communication in multicultural settings.
