Code-Switching Patterns of Ilocano Discourse in Facebook
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2022, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Multilingual speakers make use of two or three languages while conversing as it makes the conversation fluid and smooth. This mixing of languages in sentences is called code-switching which is observed in communicative contexts such as on Facebook. In this study, the descriptive method of research was used. 25 Facebook posts, comments, and memes were coded according to the type of code-switching patterns. These patterns were also analyzed morphologically to determine the word-formation used. The findings reveal that among the four code-switching patterns, intra-sentential code-switching was mostly used with an average of 47.6%. It is followed by inter-sentential code-switching with an average of 32.5%, intra-word code-switching with 14.71%, and extrasentential code-switching with 5.19%. This implies that the speakers use two or three languages in order to express easily and conveniently the thoughts or message that they want to convey online.
