ABSTRACT
The current study investigates the infiltration of code-switches into Jordanian social settings. It is also to examine Jordanians’ attitudes toward the spread of code-switches in different social settings, the rationale behind the spread of code-switches, the role of media, types of code-switches and linguistic dominance. To illustrate the existence of this phenomenon, a corpus consisting of more than two hundred code-switches has been built up. Most importantly, to measure Jordanians’ attitudes toward the phenomenon, more than three hundred questionnaires have been delivered in Amman city.
