Abstract:

"Code-switching," or the alternation of languages by bilinguals, has attracted 
an enormous amount of attention from researchers. However, most research 
has focused on spoken language, and the resultant theoretical frameworks 
have been based on spoken code-switching. This volume presents a 
collection of new work on the alternation of languages in written form. 

Written language alternation has existed since ancient times. It is present 
today in a great deal of traditional media, and also exists in newer, less 
regulated forms such as email, SMS messages, and blogs. Chapters in this 
volume cover both historical and contemporary language-mixing practices in 
a large range of language pairs and multilingual communities. 

The research collected here explores diverse approaches, including corpus 
linguistics, Critical Discourse Analysis, literacy studies, ethnography, and 
analyses of the visual/textual aspects of written data. Each chapter, based 
on empirical research of multilingual writing, presents methodological 
approaches as models for other researchers. New perspectives developed in 
this book include: analysis specific to written, rather than spoken, discourse; 
approaches from the new literacy studies, treating mixed-language literacy 
from a practice perspective; a focus on both "traditional" and "new" media 
types; and the semiotics of both text and the visual environment.
