Vortrag: Everyday Workplace Interaction in Multilingual Community: Speech Behaviour and Code Switching

The phenomenon of code switching has been researched for about forty years and during this time it has developed into an independent linguistic discipline.
Nowadays this phenomenon is in the focus, because of the increased number of jobs which involve participation of foreigners or emigrants. The reason for that is globalization. Within this complicated process, people from different places have to establish a closer contact between each other in order to achieve particular purposes.
Within the framework of this paper I focus on such phenomena as language contact, language interference, code-switching. Moreover, I was able to deepen my knowledge trough the practical experience: in summer 2018 I worked in the kitchen of the raw bar of one of the restaurants in Cape May, NJ The Lobster House. Besides American workers-native speakers, there were employees from all over the world, whose lingua- and cultural interaction could be researched in detail.

Globalization is the process of integration and unification different countries’ and societies’ economics, politics, culture. Within this complicated process, people from different places have to establish a closer contact between each other in order to achieve particular purposes.
Within the framework of this paper I focus on such phenomena as language contact, language interference, code-switching. Moreover, I was able to deepen my knowledge through the practical experience: in summer 2018 I worked in the kitchen of the raw bar of one of the largest and oldest restaurant in Cape May, NJ The Lobster House. Besides American workers-native speakers, there were employees from all over the world: Mexico, Romania, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Russia whose lingua- and cultural interaction could be researched in detail.
