David, Dr. DLH, and Jaime discuss Code-Switching and the different aspects of using it.
Code-switching is the practice of changing languages, dialects, accents, or tones of voice in a single conversation or situation. It can also involve changing mannerisms or appearance.
Why people code-switch
- To optimize comfort and get fair treatment
- To find a workplace that aligns with their values and self-identity
- To maintain ethnic distinctiveness
- To fit in with a dominant group
Also provide examples of code-switching. Knight Code tie-in.
Knight Code No. 019:
Prior to addressing Brothers, all Brothers shall be aware of the multitude of head nods. They are as follows:
- Head Nod Down is for acknowledgment. As in, a Downward Head Nod communicates that I acknowledge you exist, and we have noticed each other existing.
- Head Nod Up is for recognition. An Upward Head Nod communicates that I know you.
- Head Nod to the Right is let us adjourn to the nearest room and discuss a private matter.
- Head Nod to the Left is let us retire for the evening.
