Shivan Arora (Upper Eighth) has won the Trinity College, Cambridge linguistics essay competition with his essay on bilingualism and code-switching.
The title was: ‘People who speak two or more languages or dialects sometimes switch between them within the same conversation, and even within the same sentence. What reasons make people switch languages (or dialects)? Why is this interesting for linguists? Should linguists prescribe if switching is good or bad?’. Shivan’s essay is available to read on the competition website.
