Code mixture
Code-switching
Puerto Rican Spanish-English bilingual speakers in New York City. In
this example, Marta and her younger sister, Lolita, speak Spanish
and English with Zentella outside of their apartment building.

Lolita: Oh, I could stay with Ana?
Marta: — but you could ask papi and mami to see if you could
come down.
Lolita: OK.
Marta: Ana, if I leave her here would you send her upstairs when
you leave?
Zentella: I’ll tell you exactly when I have to leave, at ten o’clock.
Y son las nueve y cuarto. ("And it’s nine fifteen.")
Marta: Lolita, te voy a dejar con Ana. ("I’m going to leave you
with Ana.") Thank you, Ana.

Zentella explains that the children of the predominantly Puerto Rican
neighbourhood speak both English and Spanish: "Within the
children’s network, English predominated, but code-switching from
English to Spanish occurred once every three minutes, on average."

Literal translations

Englisch: I will call you back.

Spanisch: Te devuelvo la llamada.

Spanglisch: Te llamo para atrás.
