| Introduction The study of language contact has progressed since the earliest work of Haugen and Weinreich in the early fifties. In many situations of languages in contact, constituents of one language can be found with the constituents of another language in a number of linguistic phenomena, namely lexical borrowing, transferring, interference, calquing, diffusion, reflexification, code-switching and code-mixing, etc. (Annamalai, 1989). Code-switching is the linguistic phenomena which claimed to be the most prevalent and common modes of interaction among bilingual speakers. The earliest definition of code-switching dates back to Weinreich (1953), who defines bilingual people as individuals who switch “from one language to the other according to appropriate changes in speech situation.” | ||
