Exploring Cognates in Relation to Arabic-english Codeswitching Among Undergraduates in Jordan

Arabic-English codeswitching has been an issue for many scholars. Scholars considered this phenomenon threatening Arabic language and identity among codeswitching users. However, exploring cognates in relation to codeswitching in this context justifying codeswitching as a natural positive phenomenon...
