Code-switching is the practice of alternating between two or more languages or language varieties within a conversation or discourse. It is a natural phenomenon that occurs when multilingual individuals or communities use different languages or dialects, either in a deliberate or unconscious manner, depending on the context or the interlocutors involved. Code-switching can happen at various linguistic levels, including individual words, phrases, or entire sentences. It is often observed in bilingual or multilingual societies, where individuals have the ability to communicate effectively in multiple languages. Code-switching can serve various purposes, such as accommodating to the interlocutor, expressing cultural or social identity, emphasizing a certain point, or simply due to linguistic convenience. read less

Poll: In the present scenario, should we learn Queen's English or Simple Spoken English? Our education system has been imparting to inculcate Queen's English, at the expense of Spoken English, in students who study English as a second language. In the melee the students are not able to deliver even one sentence when they pass out from colleges and attend job interviews. I have sailed with Europeans, South Americans, Africans and Asians. They are all good in Spoken English without Queen's English knowledge. English medium schools have multiplied exponentially, a mushroom growth, misleading parents that their children would become "English Parrots". But ground reality is just opposite. Of late even reputed News Papers, who publish articles written by famous columnists, have changed their presentation with simple English. As readers, by and large, don't have time to read papers. Only during Coffee time, they just scroll. No one is there to listen to your lecture. Communication is just sharp and crisp. It may end with SMS style in the long run.
