Abstract

Code-switching is a common phenomenon in Hong Kong where a variety of cultures and languages coexist under its special international status. This paper evaluates and compares two research papers on code switching in Hong Kong, and provides useful guidance for related research. Through comparison and evaluation, this paper finds that both papers cover the Cantonese-English code-switching phenomenon with comprehensive case study and data analysis. However, both studies fail to collect real verbal data in daily conversation and thus they cannot reflect the real facade of code-switching in Hong Kong today. This paper concludes that further studies on code-switching need to focus on daily spoken data.
