£ 70.20
This book deals with codeswitching - the use of two or more different languages in the same conversation. Using data from multilingual African contexts, Carol Myers-Scotton advances an original theory applicable to any society: speakers change languages in order to negotiate a change in the tenor of the conversation, conveying warmth or anger, solidarity or power, by their linguistic choices.
