Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the code-switching. The paper focused on functions which motivated code switching in social life and Instagram pages. Data was collected from Instagram pages of Tatar celebrities from the beginning of January till the end of March 2018 (more that 700 posts were analyzed). The author concluded that the code-switching (CS) was very common among multi or bilinguals who switched between different languages for communication with each other. The literature review was performed on the world science, described the development, establishment and history of both Russian and foreign sciences, examples of real-life situations facing by modern people. The authors came to a conclusion that the most common functions for study were “phatic switching†and “referring to habitual expressions†. In this regard, the following methods were used: analysis of problem based on the study of linguistic, philosophical, psychological, pedagogical, cultural, and methodological literature. Authors hope that research materials may be useful worldwide by educators and researchers who are involved in the professional linguistic research and training.
