Evaluating "Situational Code-Switching" :


 * content is relevant, a lot of focus on two books that have been written about situational code switching.
 * written neutrally but relies heavily on what seem like quotes from two authors
 * what to add:
 * social factors and code-switching
 * code switching in conversation
 * grammatical aspects of code switching

Social Factors in Code Switching:

Depending on the situation, speakers use code switching which convey aspects of their identity. The motivation to code switch relies on three different types of factors which contribute to the form of code-switching in a particular situation. The sets of factors are:


 * 1) Factors independent of the speaker and the situation in which the switch is used.
 * 2) Factors attaching to the speaker, as individuals and as members of a variety of sub-groups. For example, their competence in each language, their social networks, their attitudes and ideologies, and their self-perception and perception of others.
 * 3) Factors within the conversation where code-switching takes place. Code switching provides speakers with additional tools and way to structure their dialogue beyond what is available to monolinguals.

Some languages are viewed as more suited to a particular social group, setting, or topic more so than others. Additionally, social factors like class, religion, gender, and age can influence the pattern of language that is used and switched

Great start! !e talked about accents and other English speech patterns (the English spoken by African Americans or Southerners) and how these are spoken about, weighted, and (dis)respected in public discourse -- have you run across any articles on this? It might be a useful example to go along with your point on social factors such as class, religion, gender, and age influencing language patterns. -- Shannon
