Have a little read: ... Question 1 For what reasons and in what ways, do speakers of English use style shifting and codeswitching? Style shifting in a language and codeswitching between languages are used for many different reasons. In this essay I will examine both the process of style shifting in English and codeswitching between English and other languages. I will look at the functions these processes serve, the reasons for their occurrence and the linguistic changes that occur in these processes. Style Shifting Style shifting is a method of altering your speech to suit a particular situation. The situation can dictate the style of speech you choose to use. If you are in an informal situation you will probably speak differently, perhaps more colloquially, than if you are in a formal situation. However, it is not only the formality of a situation which determines how one speaks. There are many other factors to consider. Allan Bell's theory of audience
