Yeah, that's what I said. The point of the I is to be the same. Sorry for the confusion. Are you ever gonna answer me on the codeswitching thing, I fear I scared you off or was horribly mistaken (well, I found linkies...) or something.
I just did. That was wrt to Wardhaugh, right? (just in case it didn't get posted, because I replied from my mailbox, -- we used Hudson's Sociolinguistics 2nd ed. and were actively discouraged from using Wardhaugh for reasons of the two schools being contradictory on many accounts.)
And that'd make sense, though I'll defend my usage by saying that a quick google search agrees with me on the definition of "code-switching". Example and example. Google-searching is hardly scientific, but the word isn't widespread enough that I think there's much misinformation.
