It describes codeswitching conversation among<br>Shuwa Arabs in Maiduguri, by identifying English (E) and Standard Arabic<br>(SA) lexical insertions used in Nigerian (Shuwa) Arabic (NA), Hausa (H) and<br>Kanuri (K) languages in codeswitching discourse. Our analysis to the<br>codeswitching corpus, shows integrations at different linguistic levels;<br>While (SA) phonological system, show complete integrations into Nigerian<br>Arabic phonology, English lexical items maintain their normative phonology<br>in the data, but some considerable examples from data violate English<br>phonological norms. At the morpho-phonological level, both (SA) and (E)<br>lexical insertions used in the codeswitching data completely integrate into<br>the Nigerian Arabic morph-phonological rule of stress and affixes. The zero<br>marked (uninflected) insertions in their word class or category, integrate<br>into Nigerian Arabic and Hausa Matrix languages, whose functional morpheme<br>elements form the constituent structure occupied by the inserted lexical<br>items. The study thus, revealed that, while (SA) lexical insertions show<br>complete integration at all levels (Phonology, morphology, syntax), the<br>English ones show integrations at the morpho-syntactic level, and a partial<br>integration at the phonological level.<br><br>Jidda Hassan Juma'a holds a doctorate degree in General Linguistics from<br>University of Maiduguri.
