Research
Gary Ives did an investigation called code switching in 2014. This is where individuals combine their first and second language. For example English and Bengali. Ives carried out two studies one of which was in London and one in Bradford and questioned individuals about their language dialect and use. His results was: School A – Bradford (8 teenage boys) They were initially asked why they spoke the way they do and they gave answers like: ‘its natural’ ‘everyone speaks like this’ etc. The boys were then interrogated more and pushed regarding on their answers which started to suggest that is was a mindful choice to code-switch. Some stated that other individuals who aren’t Punjabi wont understand what they are saying and some said when they speak to their parents they’ll speak Punjabi but when talking to friends they’ll add in English. School b – London Ives questioned different teenagers from a school and initiated that MLE (Multicultural London English was influenced by Afro-Caribbean and Jamaican culture. Words like ‘bare’ and ‘bruv’ have origins to these cultures. These students came from a background and the percentage of children who spoke English as an additional language and who are from a smaller ethnic group was higher than the national average. The highest percentage came from Afro-Caribbean background. Some of these students were British students but still used terminology from Afro-Caribbean and Jamaican culture which displays that MLE is more about a group identity rather than a cultural identity.
