Code Switching

Code-switching can be described as a means of communication


which involves a speaker alternating between one language and
the other in communicating events. In other words, it describes
someone who code-switches using two languages (interlingua)
or dialects (intralingua) interchangeably in a single
communication.
Communication, which may involve a native tongue and a
foreign language, or two foreign languages or dialects of the
same language, can be initiated with one language and
concluded in the other. Code switching is a product of
bi/multilingualism. This is because when languages are in
contact they are bound to influence one another.

WHO COINED
CODE MESHING?

The term code-meshing is


coined by Vershawn Ashanti
Young (2013), an African
American scholar in African
American Studies and
Rhetoric.
There is a major difference between the practice of code
switching and the act of code meshing. When practicing code
switching, you alter how you speak and behave. It teaches
you to conform to certain environments. However, code
meshing is the alternative to this oppressive practice. Code
meshing embraces people’s cultural differences and allows
them to authentically illuminate their personality. When I use
code switching it is usually during an intellectual
conversation, in a job interview or in a public forum. I would
prefer not to be critically judged during these exchanges.
