David, Dr. DLH, and Jaime discuss Code-Switching and the different aspects of using it.

Code-switching is the practice of changing languages, dialects, accents, or tones of voice in a single conversation or situation. It can also involve changing mannerisms or appearance.

Why people code-switch 

  • To optimize comfort and get fair treatment
  • To find a workplace that aligns with their values and self-identity
  • To maintain ethnic distinctiveness
  • To fit in with a dominant group

Also provide examples of code-switching.  Knight Code tie-in.

Knight Code No. 019:

Prior to addressing Brothers, all Brothers shall be aware of the multitude of head nods.  They are as follows:

  • Head Nod Down is for acknowledgment.   As in, a Downward Head Nod communicates that I acknowledge you exist, and we have noticed each other existing.
  • Head Nod Up is for recognition.    An Upward Head Nod communicates that I know you.
  • Head Nod to the Right is let us adjourn to the nearest room and discuss a private matter.
  • Head Nod to the Left is let us retire for the evening.
