N1 - 55 N2 - This article explores the forms and the functions of code-switching (CS) in written communication with mobile phones.

The analysis identifies the texters hybrid language uses, and resorting to a limited number of CS types, typically morphosyntactically non complex, and related to internationalized words or formulae, associated to a limited number of domains which bare ‘cool’ and/or cosmopolitan connotations. These results suggest that CS is a resource by means of which participants display membership in a translinguistic and globalized community UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-revue-francaise-de-linguistique-appliquee-2013-2-page-29?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
