A number of different frameworks of investigation and analysis have been used in
code-switching research carried out within a vast range of linguistic contexts. While sociopragmatic
approaches try to illustrate the different functions of code-switching (CS) and codemixing
(CM), structural/linguistic approaches concentrate on the grammar or the structure and
lexicon of bilinguals’ language production. The present research will, therefore, review a
number of theoretical aspects which have been developed for the investigation of a variety of
functions fulfilled by code-switching behavior.
