Peer Review[edit]

Hello, I read you work on situational code switching and found it really interesting. One art that I found could use some work would be the section on Development. While I understand the idea of attributing credit to each author, I think the titles of some of the papers and continuous reference to authors' names detracts from the actual information. Also, in the first paragraph, there is a citation for "Gumperz and D. Hymes |title=Directions in Sociolinguistics |year=1972 |location=New York |publisher=Holt, Rinehart, and Winston|url=https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=zfYYXKxPek0C&oi=fnd&pg=PA111&dq=%22Social+Meaning+in+Linguistic+Structures:+Code+Switching+in+Northern+Norway&ots=f5pN2iqWvu&sig=NKOuTnOTIM9qQgumAiWPpoKytNw#v=onepage&q=%22Social%20Meaning%20in%20Linguistic%20Structures%3A%20Code%20Switching%20in%20Northern%20Norway&f=false}}</ref>" which could be embedded a little better. Finally, I would recommend paraphrasing/summarizing the more in that section, as it is dominated by block quotes and technicalities. This may help the reader better understand the content. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Peer Review[edit]

This is a very interesting article! I found that citation within the first paragraph to be a little distracting. This breaks up the flow of the article and takes away form an otherwise very well done article. I would love to have a few more examples of situational code-switching more than just the one at the end. I feel like this would be especially beneficial considering there are so many different types of code-switching. Very good job! -JG — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janiegoheen (talkcontribs) 02:34, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
