On top of that, each individual needs to know English, the lingua franca of Singapore. Due to the multitude of languages present, many language contact phenomena arise due to complex interactions between these different speech communities. Code-switching is an example of a typical language contact phenomenon and is the main focus of this paper. By recording and analysing English code-switching instances in Mandarin conversations amongst PRC students in Singapore tertiary institutions, this paper has arrived at a conclusion, the longer a PRC student lived in Singapore and the more contact he/she had with local Singaporeans, the more a PRC student’s code-switching behavior will converge towards that of a local Singaporean. This convergence is reflected in two areas: 1) The frequency and complexity of code-switching. The longer a PRC student lived in Singapore, his/her frequency of switching to English code will be higher. Moreover, the morphology and word classes being code-switched will also be more varied. 2) The domains in which code-switching occur. For PRC students, the main domain in which code-switching occurs is the school domain. Other domains include ICT (information and communications technology) and everyday life. As before, the longer a PRC student lived in Singapore, his/her code-switching will increasingly expand towards the domain of everyday life. Furthermore, this paper also looked at the motivations behind code-switching amongst PRC students. Code-switching motivations can be sub-divided into two kinds, psychological and pragmatic motivations. A switch to English code during Mandarin conversations can be used when quoting someone, for emphasis, repetition, or to induce certain emotional effect (different communicative strategies). Psychological motivation for code-switching is to conform to the language habits of local Singaporeans and is thus a form of language convergence. Code-switching behavior of PRC students is language accommodation in action and shows an assimilation of PRC students into Singaporean society in the aspect of language style. vi 统计表一览 表 3.1 研究对象的资料…………………………………………………………. 31 表 3.2 第一组：研究对象在新加坡居住了一至三年（截止于2010年年中）..33 表 3.3 第二组：研究对象在新加坡居住了三至六年（截止于2010年年中）..33 表 3.4 第三组：研究对象在新加坡居住了六至九年（截止于2010年年中）..33 表 4.1 第一组研究对象的详细资料与语言背景………………………………. 41 表 4.2 第一组语码转换的不同词形的频率统计表……………………………. 44 表 4.3 第一组研究对象语码转换中词类的频率统计…………………………. 47 表 5.1 第二组研究对象的详细资料与语言背景………………………………. 75 表 5.2 第二组语码转换的不同词形的频率统计表……………………………. 77 表 5.3 第二组研究对象语码转换中词类的频率统计…………………………. 82 表 6.1 第三组研究对象的详细资料与语言背景……………………………... 107 表 6.2 第三组语码转换的不同词形的频率统计表…………………………... 109 表 6.3 第三组研究对象语码转换中词类的频率统计………………………... 113 vii 表 7.1 各组语码转换的频率／小时统计……………………………………... 144 表 7.2 各组语码转换的频率／小时统计（排除一个孤立案例）…………... 145 表 7.3 语码转换的不同词形的频率统计表…………………………………... 147 表 7.4 各组语码转换中不同词形的频率统计………………………………... 148 表 7.5 语码转换中词类的频率统计…………………………………………... 150 表 7.6 各组语码转换中词类的频率统计……………………………………... 151 viii 图表一览 图 2.1 语言模式连续体…………………………………………………………. 16 图 4.1 第一组语码转换的不同词形的频率分布………………………………. 44 图 4.2 第一组研究对象语码转换中词类频率的分布…………………………. 48 图 5.1 第二组语码转换的不同词形的频率分布………………………………. 78 图 5.2 第二组研究对象语码转换中词类频率的分布…………………………. 82 图 6.1 第三组语码转换的不同词形的频率分布……………………………... 109 图 6.2 第三组研究对象语码转换中词类频率的分布………………………... 114 图 7.1 各组语码转换的总频率分布…………………………………………... 142 图 7.2 各组语码转换的频率／小时…………………………………………... 146 图 7.3 字母／缩写词在各组不同语码转换词形中的比例…………………... 149 图 8.1 三组研究对象在语言模式连续体中的位置…………………………... 164 ix [...]... 图 2 .1 语言模式连续体………………………………………………………… 16 图 4 .1 第一组语码转换的不同词形的频率分布……………………………… 44 图 4.2 第一组研究对象语码转换中词类频率的分布………………………… 48 图 5 .1 第二组语码转换的不同词形的频率分布……………………………… 78 图 5.2 第二组研究对象语码转换中词类频率的分布………………………… 82 图 6 .1 第三组语码转换的不同词形的频率分布…………………………… 10 9 图 6.2 第三组研究对象语码转换中词类频率的分布……………………… 11 4 图 7 .1 各组语码转换的总频率分布………………………………………… 14 2 图 7.2 各组语码转换的频率／小时………………………………………… 14 6 图 7.3 字母／缩写词在各组不同语码转换词形中的比例………………… 14 9 图 8 .1 三组研究对象在语言模式连续体中的位置…………………………... 10 9 图 6.2 第三组研究对象语码转换中词类频率的分布……………………… 11 4 图 7 .1 各组语码转换的总频率分布………………………………………… 14 2 图 7.2 各组语码转换的频率／小时………………………………………… 14 6 图 7.3 字母／缩写词在各组不同语码转换词形中的比例………………… 14 9 图 8 .1 三组研究对象在语言模式连续体中的位置………………………… 16 4 ix ... student’s code- switching behavior will converge towards that of a local Singaporean This convergence is reflected in two areas: 1) The frequency and complexity of code- switching The longer a PRC student... which code- switching occur For PRC students, the main domain in which code- switching occurs is the school domain Other domains include ICT (information and communications technology) and everyday... in Singapore tertiary institutions, this paper has arrived at a conclusion, the longer a PRC student lived in Singapore and the more contact he/she had with local Singaporeans, the more a PRC
