4. There are three types of code-switching. What are they? (please provide one example for
each)

1. Inter-Sentential
In inter-sentential code switching, the language switch is done at sentence boundaries—words
or phrases at the beginning or end of a sentence. This type is seen most often in fluent bilingual
speakers.
For example: If you are late for the job interview, işe alınmazsın.

2. Intra-Sentential
In intrasentential code switching, the shift is done in the middle of a sentence, with no
interruptions, hesitations, or pauses to indicate a shift. The speaker is usually unaware of the
shift.
For example: You are sleepy cogu zaman, because you spend a lot of seat in your bed. Different
types of switches occur within the clause level and the word level.

3. Extra-Sentential or Tag Switching


This is the switching of either a single word or a tag phrase (or both) from one language to
another. This type is common in intra-sentential switches. It involves the insertion of a tag from
one language into an utterance in another language.
For example: "Él es de Oaxaca y así los criaron a ellos, if you know what I mean."
Another example is how Turkish students use some boundary words like ama (but) or yani (I
mean) while speaking English.

5. Please mention and explain “The Linguistic Viewpoint” in response to the misconceptions
regarding Standard English and Non-standard English!

The term ‘Standard English’ described a form of the English language that was universal or
common in the nineteenth century. Standard English is still referred to and spoken by British
people who have a very high, perhaps even the highest, social status and therefore are the most
influential, educated
So people who English is the mother tongue prefer standard English
On the contrary, nonstandard dialects have a distinct grammar, lexis and pronunciation and vary
greatly throughout the United Kingdom; for instance, a nonstandard dialect speaker might use
the forms ‘I ain’t done it’, ‘them sandshoes over there’ or ‘she sings 
Speakers from lower classes tend to use nonstandard dialect features more excessively, because
they are more likely to have left education earlier, have non-professional jobs and therefore
have no need to associate themselves.
