CODE SWITCHING AND CODE MIXING IN INTERNET CHATTING
 What Is The Case Study About?
This case study examined the occurrences of code switching and code mixing in a chat
room based environment. In Fall 2004, the chat room conversations of 12 non-native
speakers of English from Spanish and Indonesian backgrounds were collected during a two
month period and analyzed to identify:
1) Frequency of code switching and code mixing for both cultures.
2) Topics that triggered code switching and code mixing in each culture.
3) Topics common to both cultures and topics less likely to occur within both cultures.
 What Is The Issue?
There are two issues presented in this case study:
- The first issue: Identifies the key topics that trigger code switching and code mixing more
frequently.
- The second issue: Compares the topics based on the cultural traits and classifies code mixing
occurrences under the headings of alternation, insertion, and congruent lexicalization. The
paper concludes with a discussion of the findings and suggestions for further research.
 Situating the Study:
- Code alternation:
Romaine (1995) views code switching as a phenomenon that occurs in a continuum where both
inter-sentential and intra-sentential code alternation takes place.
Wei (1998) notes that if code alternation occurs at or above clause level, it is considered code
switching, but if it occurs below clause level then it is considered code mixing. These are the
definitions that we adopt for the current study.
- Code Switching:
Fischer (1972) Code switching or inter-sentential, it occurs when a bilingual speaker uses more
than one language in a single utterance above the clause level to appropriately convey
his/her intents. ( Full Written Sentence)
There are five contextual factors that play a role in code switching using:
1) The relationship amongst speakers.
2) The setting where the talk takes place.
3) The topic being discussed. (Fisher 1972)
4) Social Identity and educational background. (Myers-Scotton1992)
5) Medium used with the above mentioned factors. (Huang 2004) Thus, conversations taking place
in CMC* environments trigger the change of code.
*CMC, Computer Mediated Communication , defined as “
Communication that takes place between human beings via the
instrumentality of computers” (Herring, 1996, p. 1), is seen as an alternative
that provides computer users with a number of options (chat rooms, blogs,
I instantly delivered messages, etc.) and it has two types:
Synchronous and Asynchronous
B
BA A
AA
Example : Code switching English / Spanish:
A: The picture looks so cool.
B: Which picture?
A: The one you have in your messenger.
B: Ah…Si, me gusto mucho. (Ah…Yes, I liked it a lot.)
The example shows how participant B interacted in English during most of the conversation and suddenly
switched into Spanish.
- Code Mixing:
It is intra-sentential code switching occurs when speakers use two or more languages below clause level within
one social situation.
Example : Code Mixing English / Spanish:
Teacher: Pero bueno creo que basta con que incluya la pregunta de enhanced output mas todas las demas.
(Well, I think it is enough if I just include the question of enhanced output.)
There are three types of Code mixing:
Insertion: It occurs when lexical items from one
language are incorporated into another. The
notion of insertion, according to Muysken (2000),
corresponds to what Clyne (1991) terms as “transference” and Myer-Scotton as “embedding”.
- Alternation: occurs when structures of two languages are alternated indistinctively both at the grammatical
and lexical level.
- Congruent lexicalization: which refers to the situation where two languages share grammatical structures
which can be filled lexically with elements from either language (Muysken, 2000) .
 Supported Theories: Code Switching and Code Mixing in Computer
mediated environments.
Most studies in code switching in CMC environments have examined asynchronous communication. One of the
earliest studies to examine the code switching phenomena is that of Warschauer, El Said & Zohry (2002). They
investigated English and Arabic language use in email communication by a group of young professionals. They
found that English was more frequently used both when searching the Internet and in formal (business related)
email communications. They also found that from the two varieties of Arabic used in Egypt, classical Arabic and
the Egyptian Arabic, a Romanized version of Egyptian Arabic was most frequently used in informal email
messages and in online chats. Additionally, this choice of code was also preferred by participants when they
wanted to express highly personal content. In a similar study but with a quite sophisticated methodology,
Goldbarg (2009) examined the Spanish-English code switching in email exchange of five Latin American
participants. In her study, she found that English was mostly associated with communications that dealt with
professional and work related issues. Spanish, the participants L1, was mostly used in communications that
reflected a degree of intimacy, informality, and group identification.
Huang (2004) examined code choice and language use in the emails used for interpersonal communication
written by 8 Chinese-English bilinguals in Taiwan. He reported that from the analysis of a corpus of 223 emails
supplemented with interviews and questionnaires, participants adopted three modes of email communication:
Chinese/English bilingual mode, Chinese monolingual mode, and English monolingual mode. The Chinese
monolingual mode was used when participants wanted to express their most personal thoughts and feelings.
Additionally, this mode was preferred when portraying their local identities. The English monolingual mode was
used by participants to display “an embrace of international and Internet identity and of younger generation
identity” (p.307). Huang (2004) also reported that contrary to the language used in face to face communication
in which Chinese is mostly used, a Chinese monolingual mode was the least preferred mode choice in email
writing. Additionally, Huang reported that topics related to movies, shopping, sports, computers, along with food
triggered most of the instances of code switching in his data.
• What Is The Research Method Used?
Participants:
The participants in this study were 12 male participants. Six participants were from an Indonesian
background and six participants were from a Latin American background representing five nations:
Colombia, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, and Argentina. The participants were advanced speakers of
English enrolled in different graduate school programs at American universities. Data was collected
for two months and no topics were chosen systematically.
Data Analysis:
For the analysis of code switching, occurrences of three variables were taken into account:
a) Researcher-initiated switching followed by the participant.
b) Researcher-initiated switching not followed by the participant.
c) Participant initiated.
The occurrences of code switching were then counted and classified into the three variables and
later in each category, the topics and the frequency of the occurrences were identified.
 Discussion And Results:
Indonesian participants shifted code more often than Spanish speaking participants. While
Spanish speakers switched code 116 times, Indonesians switched code 174 times. This
result is interesting, considering that the number of exchanges of the Spanish-speaking
participants is longer than the Indonesian ones (1935 lines, 9113 words vs. 1035 lines, 4119
words). A closer look at the data indicates that most code alternation was triggered when
participants used the function of the language “confirming”. This can be explained by the
phonetic similarity between Indonesian and English “yes”, “yeah”, and “ya” if compared to
“yes” and “Si” in Spanish.
This result of finding supports Crysta’s (2001), Danet and Herring’s (2007), and Ho’s (2006)
assumptions about how the emergence of computer related terms in the Anglophone culture
transfer easily regardless of the language where they are used.
 Conclusions And Avenues For Research
This study aimed to add to the limited data available about the Internet chatting practices
of advanced users of English from Spanish-speaking and Indonesian-speaking
backgrounds. Although the results from this case study cannot be generalized about
Latin Americans’ and Indonesians’ code choice, several findings are consistent with, and
thus support, past research on code switching in CMC environments. This study is
unique in the sense that no other study has compared the code alternation phenomena
across cultures in synchronous CMC.

  • 2. CODE SWITCHING AND CODE MIXING IN INTERNET CHATTING  What Is The Case Study About? This case study examined the occurrences of code switching and code mixing in a chat room based environment. In Fall 2004, the chat room conversations of 12 non-native speakers of English from Spanish and Indonesian backgrounds were collected during a two month period and analyzed to identify: 1) Frequency of code switching and code mixing for both cultures. 2) Topics that triggered code switching and code mixing in each culture. 3) Topics common to both cultures and topics less likely to occur within both cultures.  What Is The Issue? There are two issues presented in this case study: - The first issue: Identifies the key topics that trigger code switching and code mixing more frequently. - The second issue: Compares the topics based on the cultural traits and classifies code mixing occurrences under the headings of alternation, insertion, and congruent lexicalization. The paper concludes with a discussion of the findings and suggestions for further research.
  • 3.  Situating the Study: - Code alternation: Romaine (1995) views code switching as a phenomenon that occurs in a continuum where both inter-sentential and intra-sentential code alternation takes place. Wei (1998) notes that if code alternation occurs at or above clause level, it is considered code switching, but if it occurs below clause level then it is considered code mixing. These are the definitions that we adopt for the current study. - Code Switching: Fischer (1972) Code switching or inter-sentential, it occurs when a bilingual speaker uses more than one language in a single utterance above the clause level to appropriately convey his/her intents. ( Full Written Sentence) There are five contextual factors that play a role in code switching using: 1) The relationship amongst speakers. 2) The setting where the talk takes place. 3) The topic being discussed. (Fisher 1972) 4) Social Identity and educational background. (Myers-Scotton1992) 5) Medium used with the above mentioned factors. (Huang 2004) Thus, conversations taking place in CMC* environments trigger the change of code. *CMC, Computer Mediated Communication , defined as “ Communication that takes place between human beings via the instrumentality of computers” (Herring, 1996, p. 1), is seen as an alternative that provides computer users with a number of options (chat rooms, blogs, I instantly delivered messages, etc.) and it has two types: Synchronous and Asynchronous
  • 4. B BA A AA Example : Code switching English / Spanish: A: The picture looks so cool. B: Which picture? A: The one you have in your messenger. B: Ah…Si, me gusto mucho. (Ah…Yes, I liked it a lot.) The example shows how participant B interacted in English during most of the conversation and suddenly switched into Spanish. - Code Mixing: It is intra-sentential code switching occurs when speakers use two or more languages below clause level within one social situation. Example : Code Mixing English / Spanish: Teacher: Pero bueno creo que basta con que incluya la pregunta de enhanced output mas todas las demas. (Well, I think it is enough if I just include the question of enhanced output.) There are three types of Code mixing: Insertion: It occurs when lexical items from one language are incorporated into another. The notion of insertion, according to Muysken (2000), corresponds to what Clyne (1991) terms as “transference” and Myer-Scotton as “embedding”. - Alternation: occurs when structures of two languages are alternated indistinctively both at the grammatical and lexical level. - Congruent lexicalization: which refers to the situation where two languages share grammatical structures which can be filled lexically with elements from either language (Muysken, 2000) .
  • 5.  Supported Theories: Code Switching and Code Mixing in Computer mediated environments. Most studies in code switching in CMC environments have examined asynchronous communication. One of the earliest studies to examine the code switching phenomena is that of Warschauer, El Said & Zohry (2002). They investigated English and Arabic language use in email communication by a group of young professionals. They found that English was more frequently used both when searching the Internet and in formal (business related) email communications. They also found that from the two varieties of Arabic used in Egypt, classical Arabic and the Egyptian Arabic, a Romanized version of Egyptian Arabic was most frequently used in informal email messages and in online chats. Additionally, this choice of code was also preferred by participants when they wanted to express highly personal content. In a similar study but with a quite sophisticated methodology, Goldbarg (2009) examined the Spanish-English code switching in email exchange of five Latin American participants. In her study, she found that English was mostly associated with communications that dealt with professional and work related issues. Spanish, the participants L1, was mostly used in communications that reflected a degree of intimacy, informality, and group identification. Huang (2004) examined code choice and language use in the emails used for interpersonal communication written by 8 Chinese-English bilinguals in Taiwan. He reported that from the analysis of a corpus of 223 emails supplemented with interviews and questionnaires, participants adopted three modes of email communication: Chinese/English bilingual mode, Chinese monolingual mode, and English monolingual mode. The Chinese monolingual mode was used when participants wanted to express their most personal thoughts and feelings. Additionally, this mode was preferred when portraying their local identities. The English monolingual mode was used by participants to display “an embrace of international and Internet identity and of younger generation identity” (p.307). Huang (2004) also reported that contrary to the language used in face to face communication in which Chinese is mostly used, a Chinese monolingual mode was the least preferred mode choice in email writing. Additionally, Huang reported that topics related to movies, shopping, sports, computers, along with food triggered most of the instances of code switching in his data.
  • 6. • What Is The Research Method Used? Participants: The participants in this study were 12 male participants. Six participants were from an Indonesian background and six participants were from a Latin American background representing five nations: Colombia, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, and Argentina. The participants were advanced speakers of English enrolled in different graduate school programs at American universities. Data was collected for two months and no topics were chosen systematically. Data Analysis: For the analysis of code switching, occurrences of three variables were taken into account: a) Researcher-initiated switching followed by the participant. b) Researcher-initiated switching not followed by the participant. c) Participant initiated. The occurrences of code switching were then counted and classified into the three variables and later in each category, the topics and the frequency of the occurrences were identified.
  • 7.  Discussion And Results: Indonesian participants shifted code more often than Spanish speaking participants. While Spanish speakers switched code 116 times, Indonesians switched code 174 times. This result is interesting, considering that the number of exchanges of the Spanish-speaking participants is longer than the Indonesian ones (1935 lines, 9113 words vs. 1035 lines, 4119 words). A closer look at the data indicates that most code alternation was triggered when participants used the function of the language “confirming”. This can be explained by the phonetic similarity between Indonesian and English “yes”, “yeah”, and “ya” if compared to “yes” and “Si” in Spanish. This result of finding supports Crysta’s (2001), Danet and Herring’s (2007), and Ho’s (2006) assumptions about how the emergence of computer related terms in the Anglophone culture transfer easily regardless of the language where they are used.  Conclusions And Avenues For Research This study aimed to add to the limited data available about the Internet chatting practices of advanced users of English from Spanish-speaking and Indonesian-speaking backgrounds. Although the results from this case study cannot be generalized about Latin Americans’ and Indonesians’ code choice, several findings are consistent with, and thus support, past research on code switching in CMC environments. This study is unique in the sense that no other study has compared the code alternation phenomena across cultures in synchronous CMC.
