The analysis of Thai-English code switching through podcast teaching in Thailand
Abstract:
This study aimed to analyze the types of code switching and also identify the reasons for using code switching through English podcast teaching in Thailand. The analysis identifies and classifies based upon the classification frameworks of Poplack (1980), three types of code-switching, which are intra-sentential switching, inter sentential switching and tag switching, it is also based on Hoffmans classification framework for the seven reasons of code-switching performance, which are 1) talking about particular topics, 2) quoting someone else, 3) expressing solidarity, 4) interjection (inserting sentence fillers or sentence connectors), 5) repetition used for clarification, 6) intention of clarifying the speech content for interlocutor, and 7) expressing group identity. The approach of this study was qualitative. The data was collected from recording the selected episodes of KND (kum nee dee) Thai-English teaching podcast in Thailand. The data was investigated and analyzed strategically based on Poplack (1980) frameworks of intersentential switching which was the most frequent type of code switching employed by the host in the program. The findings of study indicated the reasons for code-switching performance were similar to what was classified by Hoffman.
