Hamzeh Moradi, Prof. Deepti Gupta

Abstract :

Bilingualism is defined as the use of at least two languages either by an individual or by a group of speakers. Bilingual is a person who uses at least two languages with some degree of proficiency. Depending on the demands of a particular communicative situation, bilingual or multilingual speakers switch between language varieties. A question which caught the attention of many linguists is: Is there a relationship between the pattern variations in code– switching and the bilingual speakers language proficiency? The present study makes an attempt to review the most prominent notions on this issue and provide an answer to the question.
