    Anytime I see somone remove chunks of a quote I know somethig weird is going on.

    In linguistics, code-switching or language alternation occurs when a speaker alternates between two or more languages, or language varieties, in the context of a single conversation or situation[citation needed].

    You changed the first line of Wikipedia by committing half of it, then claim it’s proof what you omitted doesn’t exist.

    Like, you may be right, but you couldn’t find a source and anyone that knows what they’re doing would never try the shit you did with that quote to back it up.

        Just quoting the first paragraph:

        code-switching, process of shifting from one linguistic code (a language or dialect) to another, depending on the social context or conversational setting. Sociolinguists, social psychologists, and identity researchers are interested in the ways in which code-switching, particularly by members of minority ethnic groups, is used to shape and maintain a sense of identity and a sense of belonging to a larger community.

        If there’s a part that references brainfarts, please quote it

        Or is that what you think dialects are?

        Quick edit:

        Wait…

        That’s not what you meant you think the “between different languages” just means one word substitutions?!

        I can see why someone would be wrong in that way, so if that’s what happened I might be able to clear this up.

          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…

      No, I’m not claiming that what is omitted doesn’t exist, and it’s not relevant. Every section of the quote I omitted begins with “or”, indicating an alternative to the main idea of the paragraph, which is exactly represented by the quote as I formatted it. Including the whole quote supports my statement exactly the same amount, just with more other stuff included.
