Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, , course: Bilingualism: Code-switching, language: English, abstract: In the following paper, I will examine the field of bilingualism in children’s speech production and the phenomenon of code-switching when children speak to a certain interlocutor. More specifically, I am going to focus on bilingual children’s language choice patterns and especially on what influence parents’ responses and reactions to code-switching their children have. Apart from that, I will consider other factors that may affect the choice of language in bilingual children’s parent-directed speech. Specifying that, within my paper I will scrutinize the question “Do parental discourse strategies influence the language choice of bilingual children?”.
