  3. Types of bilingualism • Horizontal bilingualism: where the language has a social status in the official, cultural, and family contexts. • Diagonal bilingualism: where there is only one official language. • Vertical bilingualism: where languages and dialects are involved besides the official language

  4. Consequence of bilingualism and multilingualism • The practice of Code Switching • Code: language (neutral, not like dialect, variety, pidgin, creole, lingua franca, etc) • Switching: alternating, mixing, shifting • mixing, using two languages (of limited use: word/phrases) in a turn • switching, using more than one language within a turn • alternating/shifting: using more than one language with different speakers between turns

  5. Code switching • Inter-sentential code switching • Did you know it?
