Do you know what code switching is?
Code switching is a linguistics term denoting the concurrent use of more than one language, or language variety, in conversation. People who speak more than one language, sometimes use elements of multiple languages in conversing with each other.
In popular usage outside the field of linguistics the term code-switching is sometimes used to refer to relatively stable informal mixtures of two languages, such as Spanglish.
Examples of Spanglish with code switching:
Anita: «Hola, good morning, cómo estás?»
Mark: «Fine, y tú?»
Anita: «Todo bien. Pero tuve problemas parqueando my car this morning.»
Mark: «Sí, I know. Siempre hay problemas parqueando in el área at this time».
Another example:
Listen to Emanuel Xavier, an American poet.
