It considers the main concepts of the code switching theory. The research focuses on the classification of code switching functions in the space of a literary text (based on the novel Shantaram by G. D. Roberts). The relevance of the study is determined by the usage of modern literary text as a research material. The literary text is at the same time a product of “artistic communication in the culture of post-literacy” [1, 57] and a linguistic object that represents the literary norms of various languages, as well as dialects and colloquial forms of the languages presented. The article highlights the causes and goals of using various codes within the framework of a single communicative act in bilingual speech. As a result, the functional and linguistic features of code switching are analyzed and various classifications are described.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> code, code switching, multilingualism, language contacts, communicative act</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={KnE Social Sciences}, author={Alexandrovna Gamalinskaya, Alexandra}, year={2020}, month={Jan.}, pages={471–479} }
