Code Switching on the WebCode Switching on the Web

In this presentation of his doctoral dissertation research, Lars Hinrichs outlines the discursive functions of codeswitching between Jamaican Creole (Patois) and Jamaican English in computer-mediated communication (CMC).

This book should be of both methodological and theoretical interest to scholars of CMC, writing systems and their development, interactional sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, linguistic anthropology, codeswitching and language contact, creole studies, English as a World Language (EWL), and the Caribbean area and its diaspora.
