dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores the motivation for code-switching to English from Asian languages and compared this to the motivation for code-switching in Germanic languages. A meta-analysis is used in this thesis to analyse the motivations for code-switching in Asian languages. The results from this methodology reveals that code-switching in Asian languages is used as a linguistic resource as a pragmatic and discourse function. On the other hand, cognates induce code-switching in the Germanic languages. The meta-analysis of Asian languages will reveal that code-switching in Asian languages can be classified into a structural and functional analysis. The reasons for code-switching differ in Asian languages differ from the Germanic languages. The motivations for code-switching in Asian languages are sociolinguistic. Code-switching occurs under the influence of 1) the relationship between interlocutors 2) cultural values 3) discourse functions 4) practicality and language learning, and 5) self-image and prestige.en_US
