MA (Tshivenda) / Senthara ya M.E.R.Mathivha ya Nyambo dza Afrika, Vhutsila na Mvelele / Code switching is a factor that is affecting many languages in our communities.
There are so many factors that have led people to code switch. People seem to think
that it is a good thing to code switch overlooking the impacts of code switching. The
aim of this research is to reveal the causes of code switching and its impact on
Tshivenḓa language which is regarded as one of the minority languages in
Zimbabwe.
This study will reveal the causes of code switching Tshivenḓa language in Beitbridge
town and the impacts of doing so which include among others language death and
language shift. The study will also show how shortage of books, publishing
companies, presence of private schools and the uninvolvement of government has
contributed to code switching of Tshivenḓa language in Beitbridge town in
Zimbabwe. The study will also put forth some recommendations that can be used in
order to solve this problem of code switching languages.
