Russian-Estonian Conversational Code-switching in Student Interviews
Russian-Estonian Conversational Code-switching in Student Interviews

Summary/Abstract: This study defines code-switching as any mixing of two languages within a single conversation: a continuum of phenomena from code-alternation (intentional switching of languages) to mixed code (languages blended together). I have chosen to narrow the approach and focus on a qualitative analysis of individual code-switching patterns. The general aim of this research is to study the code-switching functions of Russian-speaking Tallinn University students living in the Estonian capital city of Tallinn.
