Code-switching, Young language, Bilingualism, Use of languageAbstract
Along with the Basque youth language, the phenomenon of code-switching (CS) has also been observed in recent years. The aim of this study is to analyze the use of CS in bilingual Basque-Spanish youth and to identify some factors that may influence it: the sociolinguistic environment (according to the place of birth), the first language of the speakers (L1) and the Basque/Spanish competition. To do this, and in order to deepen the use and attitudes of CS, I have taken advantage of the answers received from the online questionnaire that I designed in 2022: 244 bilingual Basque-Spanish youth from 18 to 30 years old. The results show that the use of CS is widespread among Basque youth and that L1, the sociolinguistic environment and the Basque/Spanish competition influence it.
