Code Switching in the Bilingual Chicano Narrative.

Koike, Dale April

Hispania, v70 n1 p148-54 Mar 1987

A review of research concerning bilingual (English and Spanish) Chicanos' use of code-switching during spontaneous oral narrative indicates that such code-switching may be organized to achieve more dramatic effects through personalizing (as opposed to objectionalizing) certain parts of the narrative and through techniques of foregrounding and backgrounding.
