Description
Summary:The phenomenon of code-switching is strictly connected with bilingualism - according to Muysken's theory, we can distinguish three main types of code-switching: insertional, alternational and congruent lexicalization. Many scholars have attempted to determine the sociological and psychological factors that influence code-switching. This article is based on Franceschini's concept of prototypical codeswitcher. We apply Western sociolinguistic theories to the Slavonic-Slavonic bilingualism in the Old Believers' community and characterize their code-switchers. On the basis of the linguistic and sociolinguistic material gathered in field researches (1999-2012) we put forward a typology of idiolectal diversity of code-switching in the community of Old Believers'.
