Code-Switching and Its Stylistic Effects in Multilingual Communities

Abstract

This study explores code-switching as a linguistic and stylistic phenomenon in multilingual communities, focusing on its sociocultural and communicative implications. By analyzing various contexts such as education, workplace, and artistic expressions, it highlights the stylistic diversity and cultural resonance of code-switching. The research emphasizes its role in fostering inclusivity, shaping hybrid languages, and influencing pedagogical practices, while addressing challenges like linguistic purity and negative perceptions. Future research directions include examining code-switching in digital communication and cross-cultural contexts.
