Good afternoon adsl-ers:

I need more help, please.

Is code-switching in one language, English, the idea of going from Standard
English to nonstandard English or would this be considered a dialect or
dialect shift?

For example:

What are you doing?  vs. What you be doin?

Jenny and I went to the store.  vs.  Me and Jenny went to the store.

and other sentences to the like.

Please help.

Best regards,

Ronnie
