About Carol (Professor of Linguistics and English Myers-Scotton
View all books by Carol (Professor of Linguistics and English Myers-ScottonDescription of Social Motivations for Codeswitching
This book deals with codeswitching - the use of two or more different languages in the same conversation. Using data from multilingual African contexts, Carol Myers-Scotton advances an original theory applicable to any society: speakers change languages in order to negotiate a change in the tenor of the conversation, conveying warmth or anger, solidarity or power, by their linguistic choices.
