code switching
This term originates from linguistics to describe the fluid transition between languages, but it has expanded into a sociological concept. In a social context, it often carries a weight of necessity or survival, describing how marginalized individuals adapt their behavior to navigate spaces dominated by a different cultural or professional norm.
Because it describes a process or a practice, the term is treated as an uncountable noun. It does not typically take a plural form, as it refers to the general phenomenon rather than individual instances of switching.
Meanings
The practice of alternating between two or more languages or varieties of language in a single conversation or social context, often depending on the audience or setting.
