Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Аннотация:
the era of globalization, multilingualism has become a defining feature of human communication. The phenomenon of code-switching—alternating between two or more languages within a single conversation or discourse—has gained new dimensions in the context of digital communication. Social media, online chats, and messaging platforms have not only made code-switching more visible but also turned it into a marker of identity, social belonging, and cultural awareness (Myers-Scotton, 1993). This paper explores the sociolinguistic causes of code-switching in digital spaces and how language choice reflects users’ online identities and communicative intentions.
