Code Switching in Persian & English
Hedieh Najafi
Abstract
The early 1980s mark the immigration of Iranians and Afghans, in large numbers, to the U.S. This phenomenon
positioned the Persian language in juxtaposition with the English language creating a suitable environment for
code switching between the two languages. In this paper, by collecting data from the Iranian media, I compare
the code switching patterns of Persian-English to those of Spanish-English using Poplack?s (1981) code
switching constraints. I will discuss the similarities as well as discrepancies and suggest the reasons for the
discrepancies.
