Annotation

This article explores oral Cypriot Greek–English codeswitching practices by Cypriot-born Greek Cypriots and examines its linguistic forms, functions and codeswitching types. It also assesses the frequency of English in the data. The data consist of authentic, informal conversations. For data analysis the distinction between insertions and alternations was used.
