"Code-switching," or the alternation of languages by bilinguals,
has attracted an enormous amount of attention from researchers.
However, most research has focused on spoken language, and the
resultant theoretical frameworks have been based on spoken
code-switching. This volume presents a collection of new work on
the alternation of languages in written form. Written language
alternation has existed since ancient times. It is present today in
a great deal of traditional media, and also exists in newer, less
regulated forms such as email, SMS messages, and blogs. Chapters in
this volume cover both historical and contemporary language-mixing
practices in a large range of language pairs and multilingual
communities. The research collected here explores diverse
approaches, including corpus linguistics, Critical Discourse
Analysis, literacy studies, ethnography, and analyses of the
visual/textual aspects of written data. Each chapter, based on
empirical research of multilingual writing, presents methodological
approaches as models for other researchers. New perspectives
developed in this book include: analysis specific to written,
rather than spoken, discourse; approaches from the new literacy
studies, treating mixed-language literacy from a practice
perspective; a focus on both "traditional" and "new" media types;
and the semiotics of both text and the visual environment.
