Abstract

The idea that language is a homogeneous code is a massive simplification. In actual fact, we constantly use a wide array of codes, be they other languages, dialects, registers, or special purpose codes (for bank account numbers, book numbers, shoe sizes, and so on). In this paper we provide a formal analysis of code switching.

The first author recalls the following incident. At one conference he was asking Hans Kamp a question at the end of a lecture. However, all he got in return was a blank stare. He made one more attempt with the same result. Then, at the third time, Hans suddenly exclaimed: “Oh, you are talking German to me! I thought you were talking in French.” So his “parser” had been expecting French and could not make head nor tail from the input.

One reviewer rightly pointed out that there are explicit ways to regiment code switching. Consider phrases like “For the rest of this paper X will be assumed to denote \(\ldots \)”. This is clearly meant to remove all ambiguity as to whether certain code switches may take place. Thus, languages contain more than just code identifiers. There are also expressions that could be called “switching regulators”.
