LANGUAGE MIXING

Or called as Code Mixing, refers to the

transfer of linguistic elements or words from
one language to another or mixed together.
CAUSES OF LANGUAGE
MIXING

One reason some children code mix is that it

happens frequently in their language
communities, children are just doing what
they hear adults around them do. A second
reason is that, just like young monolinguals,
young bilinguals are sometimes limited in
their linguistic resources.
TYPES OF CODE MIXING

There are three types of code

mixing, they are: Insertion,
Alternation, and Congruent
Lexicalization.
LANGUAGE CONFUSION

Language confusion is the

popularly held belief (or myth) that
children are incapable of becoming
bilingual without experiencing
confusion.
HOW LANGUAGE CAUSES
CONFUSION
1. Whenever a word has multiple possible
meanings.
2. Whenever a single object has multiple names.
3. Words that have NO (agreed) definition.
4. Words that denote, not a thing, but rather, the
absence of a different thing.
5. Words that denote things that do not exist in
reality.
