1.7 Stages <strong>of</strong> Code-Switching<br />

Code-switching takes place at word, phrase, clause and sentence levels. The<br />

researcher will attempt to give examples from his own data. The definitions are taken<br />

from Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (1991).<br />

1.7.1 Word Level<br />

A word is a sound or combination <strong>of</strong> sounds that expresses a meaning and forms an<br />

independent unit <strong>of</strong> the grammar or vocabulary <strong>of</strong> a language.<br />

Example:<br />
