Syntactic analysis of Franglais in the Comment Section of the podcast Hot Girls OnlyRode, Katja Ema (Avtor) Ilc, Gašper (Mentor) Zwitter Vitez, Ana (Mentor) code-switchingFranglaissyntactic analysisCode-switching is the alternation between two or more languages within an utterance. It is a widespread communicative strategy among bilingual and multilingual speakers. The growth of digital communication has opened new spaces for observing codeswitching especially on social media where interlocutors code-switch spontaneously. This paper examines Franglais, French and English codeswitching, in the comment section of the French podcast Hot Girls Only. Using Myers-Scotton’s Matrix Language Frame model and Poplack and Sankoff’s framework of code-switching, this study aims to identify the most frequent switch sites in Franglais and to understand what this could reveal about the use of Franglais on social media. The corpus demonstrated a higher frequency of intra-sentential switches (74.3%) and nouns as the most common part of speech of these switches (34.8%). The most frequent switch positions were the subject complement, the complement in the PP, the headword in the NP and the predicate (occurring around 10%). The findings shed light on how Franglais follows both frameworks as French occupies the main syntactic structure while English adds the main semantic elements. Social media English is thus incorporated into French in a systematic and patterned way though remaining variable.20262026-09-27 07:17:08Magistrsko delo/naloga188762VisID: 634366COBISS_ID: 294415619sl
