6.2 Recommendations Due to the small-scale, limited nature of this study, I recommend that further research be carried out on English/Afrikaans codeswitching, so as to provide further insight into social motivations for codeswitching, particularly within the Cape Flats speech community. I recommend that further studies also be conducted on grammatical constraints on codeswitching. The data for this research was limited to only two episodes of a talk show. Thus, further research needs to be conducted across a variety of settings, in order to provide a more concrete set of grammatical constraints for English/Afrikaans codeswitching. In addition, future studies related to both social motivations and grammatical constraints on codeswitching should focus on the occurrence of this linguistic phenomenon within other media. Codeswitching is evident in the print media – with newspapers such as Die Son and The Daily Voice becoming extremely popular – and is also becoming a part of both print and television advertisements. Thus, I believe it necessary to investigate the occurrence of codeswitching, not only in relation to interpersonally based casual conversations, but as also with regard to the functions it serves within the general media today. 108
