Code Switching Between English and Chinese in Online Communication from the Sociolinguistic Perspective
Abstract
Code switching as an outstanding feature in Chinese online communication has attracted increasing attention of linguists. Although there is a long history to carry out the researches on code switching, the research from the sociolinguistic perspective is almost at the level of daily communication, with little touch upon with code switching in e-discourse such as online language. From the sociolinguistic perspective of code switching in online communication, the factors forming it and its social functions will be analyzed to present a comprehensive picture of code switching in online language to readers.
