Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik - Linguistik, Note: 1,0, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Whenever people with different language backgrounds share the same territory or
have close relations the linguistic outcome is usually bi- or multilingualism. In
such contact situations the languages involved often start to interact and influence
each other, which results in a series of phenomena such as borrowing,
convergence, pidginization, etc. (Haugen 1978, 21-22). Of all these concepts the
one which has probably raised most interest among linguists and researchers is
code-switching (CS), the alternate use of more than one language within a single
conversation. While formerly this kind of language use was considered rather
negatively and as a transitional step in the process of language shift, it is
nowadays widely regarded as a vital and stable part of many bilingual
communities all over the world (Myers-Scotton 1993, 2). But not only linguists
are interested in CS. Filmmakers have also discovered its potential and use it as a
creative element in their productions.
The overall purpose of this paper is to provide a short overview on the
sociolinguistic approach on CS and to show how it is illustrated in contemporary
media productions. Therefore, after presenting some of the most important
theories of CS in the first part, in the second part I will analyze selected scenes of
the movie “Real women have curves”. The goal thereby will be to find and
explain possible connections between the social situation and the language choice
in the respective scenes. Finally a short conclusion shall summarize the main
results and ideas.
