Code-Switching and Identity
Captions available
The idea
Code-switching in identity terms is adjusting speech, style or presentation to cultural context; it is adaptive but can be tiring.
In practice
A student speaking one way with family, another way at school, and a third way at a job interview.
Where people slip
Unit seven introduced code-switching in language; here it extends to dress, manner and self-presentation.
