Between The Languages: Code-Switching in bilingual communication

"Between the Languages: Code-Switching in Bilingual Communication" is an academic book that explores the use of two languages in everyday life. Bilingualism is a widespread phenomenon observed in many countries around the world. A central theme of the book is code-switching, which frequently occurs in conversations among bilingual individuals. While bilinguals typically use one language when conversing with monolinguals, they tend to switch between languages in discussions with other bilinguals. These switches are not arbitrary; they depend on various factors such as the conversational context, the topic, emotional aspects, and the speaker's identity. The book examines these dynamics in depth, particularly in the context of Russian-German bilinguals, and provides valuable insights into the complex nature of bilingual communication.
