    Yes, sociologists care about how code switching languages is used in social situations. The phenomenon itself is just switching languages rapidly on-the-fly.

    From the third paragraph of the Wikipedia article:

    Code-switching may happen between sentences, sentence fragments, words, or individual morphemes (in synthetic languages).

    Not sure why you think words aren’t included in that list?

      From the third paragraph of the Wikipedia article:

      The entire paragraph:

      Code-switching may happen between sentences, sentence fragments, words, or individual morphemes (in synthetic languages). However, some linguists consider the borrowing of words or morphemes from another language to be different from other types of code-switching.[2][3]

      You keep leaving out stuff so it looks like you’re right if no one clicked the link…

      It seems intentional, and since I’ve blocked your instance I don’t get notifications, which is good because now you’re trying to have the same argument in different comment chains

      This is too much effort to help you understand against your will.

      Probably most fitting username I’ve seen for a while, which makes me think even more this is an intentional misunderstanding.

      Have a nice life I guess.

        The bit you added says:

        However, some linguists consider the borrowing of words or morphemes from another language to be different from other types of code-switching

        Ok, so some think it’s the same type, some think it’s another type, but all of them agree it’s code-switching…
