“Tension Na Ghino Saien”: Explorations into Sources of English Code-Mixing in Saraiki ‘Waseb’
Keywords:
Code-mixing, Code-switching, Borrowed English words, Quantitative SurveyAbstract
This research was conducted in Uch-sharif. It aimed at studying the everyday sources of code-mixing of English words used by Saraiki speakers in their interactions in the Saraiki language. It also studied the attitude of Saraiki natives towards the frequent use of English words among Saraiki speakers in their interactions in the Saraiki language. For this purpose, a 24-item questionnaire was administered among 65 Saraiki teachers working at government primary and elementary schools in Uch-sharif. The results showed that 66.1% of Saraiki speakers of Uch-sharif had access to multiple sources and these sources cause code-switching in their Saraiki interactions. 53.9% of people prefer using English words rather than Saraiki words in their daily routines. These findings show the influence of English on pure Saraiki of Uch-sharif. This study suggests that this issue needs further investigation for a better understanding of the effects of English code-mixing among Saraiki people in Uch-sharif.
