A sociolinguistic analysis of code switching in medical register
Keywords:
code switching, Inter-sentential switching, lexical shifting, stimuliAbstract
The research work is associated with identifying an in-depth understanding about the ways that are used by patients and practitioners to handle the medical registers of language in medical communication. The research works focuses on the code-switching approaches in the medical communication that is important in patients. However, some challenges are associated with code switching usage in medical communication due to the usage of code switching along with its frequency as well as pattern of code switching. Previous researchers have focused on the impact of patient education level in code switching as well as the role of doctors to handle the approaches. The study is also supported by the concepts of theory of language acquisition device. However, previous research has not focused on the role of administration and leadership in that particular field. A descriptive research design is followed in order to collect primary data from the medical practitioners in order to generate further outcomes that can be valued in that particular research field. Software like IBM SPSS is used to generate results from the collected quantitative data.
