This paper overviews research into the use of code-switching within social media outlets. It aims at diagnosing some corpus of online speech for a group Algerian users residing in the UK. A triangulation method was followed to categorize types and patterns of code-switching and to assess the users awareness towards generating these linguistic behaviours. A sample of online users was recruited to submit an online questionnaire to identify their identity-profiles. Online activities were monitored over the course of the data collection period. To ensure the accessibility to the users' activities the researcher was friend and follower with the users on Facebook and Twitter, respectively. A small sample was interviewed for in-depth exploring the functions of the linguistic behaviours that have been detected. Gender was demonstrated to be as an aspect of identity in order to investigate the potential link between language use and identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
