Code-Switching Patterns among Georgian Bilingual Students

Code-Switching Among Bilingual Students in Georgia.This book explores how bilingual university students in Georgia use code-switching between Georgian and English in academic and social settings. Using theories like the Matrix Language Frame Model and the Markedness Model, it analyzes linguistic patterns, sociolinguistic factors, and digital influences. Based on a survey of 205 students, the findings reveal that code-switching enhances comprehension, self-expression, and participation, making it a valuable educational and communicative tool in multilingual classrooms.
