Due to <strong>the</strong> small-scale, limited nature <strong>of</strong> this study, I recommend that fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />
research be carried out on English/Afrikaans codeswitching, so as to provide<br />
fur<strong>the</strong>r insight into social <strong>motivations</strong> <strong>for</strong> codeswitching, particularly within <strong>the</strong><br />
Cape Flats speech community.<br />
I recommend that fur<strong>the</strong>r studies also be conducted on <strong>grammatical</strong> <strong>constraints</strong> on<br />
codeswitching. The data <strong>for</strong> this research was limited to only two episodes <strong>of</strong> a<br />
talk show. Thus, fur<strong>the</strong>r research needs to be conducted across a variety <strong>of</strong><br />
settings, in order to provide a more concrete set <strong>of</strong> <strong>grammatical</strong> <strong>constraints</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />
English/Afrikaans codeswitching.<br />
In addition, future studies related to both social <strong>motivations</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>grammatical</strong><br />
<strong>constraints</strong> on codeswitching should focus on <strong>the</strong> occurrence <strong>of</strong> this linguistic<br />
phenomenon within o<strong>the</strong>r media. Codeswitching is evident in <strong>the</strong> print media –<br />
with newspapers such as Die Son <strong>and</strong> The Daily Voice becoming extremely<br />
popular – <strong>and</strong> is also becoming a part <strong>of</strong> both print <strong>and</strong> television advertisements.<br />
Thus, I believe it necessary to investigate <strong>the</strong> occurrence <strong>of</strong> codeswitching, not<br />
only in relation to interpersonally based casual conversations, but as also with<br />
regard to <strong>the</strong> functions it serves within <strong>the</strong> general media today.<br />
