After following a link from [[multilingualism]], I realized that there is no article on code-switching. Therefore, I thought that such an article would be an important contribution.

Switching or mixing? Is the example clear?
Consider the definition given: "Code-switching may occur inter-sententially or intra-sententially. If the latter is considered, the phenomenon is called code-mixing. In other words, if the switch is within sentences or word boundaries, it is code-mixing. Contrary to this, if the switch is across sentence boundaries, the phenomenon under discussion is code-switching."
(1)
Otto: I am really very müde (tired). (English-German code-mixing)
Code is changed within the sentence, i.e. it is mixing
(2)
Jeff: Ahmet, Is this your kitap? (English-Turkish code-switching)
Ahmet: Hayır. But that is my defter.
Code is changed within the sentence and across the boundries so the example is mixed. Suggestion. relabel the sentences or change the example. For example:
Ahmet, Is this your kitap? (code mixing)
Hayır. But that is my notebook. (code switching)
