about these callers, apart from information provided on air, but the fact that they all appear to be members of the Cape Flats speech community is all that is required for the purpose if this research. This chapter provided an outline of the way in which the research was conducted, including the framework in which the analysis took place and the instruments and procedures that were used. The next chapter provides a detailed discussion on the patterns that emerged from the data. The discussion of the findings is split into two parts, the first of which focuses on grammatical constraints for codeswitching. The section provides insight into social motivations for codeswitching as evident in the data. 60
5.0 Introduction Chapter 5 Discussion of Findings This chapter covers the analysis of the data. I have chosen to split up the discussion of my findings into sections, so as to provide clarity and a structure that is easy to follow. I have split my analysis into two sections. Grammatical constraints and social motivations are therefore discussed separately. The first section of this chapter covers the grammatical constraints related to codeswitching as evident in the data. As the data consisted of two shows, both were drawn on to provide support, as well as counter-examples, for the theories put forward by other researchers, as discussed in Chapter 3. The second section of this chapter deals with the social motivations related to codeswitching. Once again, both shows were used to provide support for the theories that were dealt with in Chapter 3, but also in order to establish further social motivations that are related to codeswitching within the Cape Flats speech community specifically. In addition, this section is divided into two parts – the first of which discusses codeswitching in the first data set (i.e. Update Kaapse Vlakte 1). This part provides a discussion on a number of reasons for which the host appears to engage in codeswitching. It focuses mainly on the use of Afrikaans as the dominant language for story-telling purposes, and the reasons why codeswitching occurs within this context. Part two provides a discussion on the second data set (i.e. Update Kaapse Vlakte 2), analyzing the motivational trends that emerged from the discourse, but focuses 61

Discussion <strong>of</strong> Findings<br />
This chapter covers <strong>the</strong> analysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> data. I have chosen to split up <strong>the</strong><br />
discussion <strong>of</strong> my findings into sections, so as to provide clarity <strong>and</strong> a structure<br />
that is easy to follow. I have split my analysis into two sections. Grammatical<br />
<strong>constraints</strong> <strong>and</strong> social <strong>motivations</strong> are <strong>the</strong>re<strong>for</strong>e discussed separately.<br />
The first section <strong>of</strong> this chapter covers <strong>the</strong> <strong>grammatical</strong> <strong>constraints</strong> related to<br />
codeswitching as evident in <strong>the</strong> data. As <strong>the</strong> data consisted <strong>of</strong> two shows, both<br />
were drawn on to provide support, as well as counter-examples, <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>ories<br />
put <strong>for</strong>ward by o<strong>the</strong>r researchers, as discussed in Chapter 3.<br />
The second section <strong>of</strong> this chapter deals with <strong>the</strong> social <strong>motivations</strong> related to<br />
codeswitching. Once again, both shows were used to provide support <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>ories that were dealt with in Chapter 3, but also in order to establish fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />
social <strong>motivations</strong> that are related to codeswitching within <strong>the</strong> Cape Flats speech<br />
community specifically.<br />
In addition, this section is divided into two parts – <strong>the</strong> first <strong>of</strong> which discusses<br />
codeswitching in <strong>the</strong> first data set (i.e. Update Kaapse Vlakte 1). This part<br />
provides a discussion on a number <strong>of</strong> reasons <strong>for</strong> which <strong>the</strong> host appears to engage<br />
in codeswitching. It focuses mainly on <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> Afrikaans as <strong>the</strong> dominant<br />
language <strong>for</strong> story-telling purposes, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> reasons why codeswitching occurs<br />
within this context.<br />
Part two provides a discussion on <strong>the</strong> second data set (i.e. Update Kaapse Vlakte<br />
2), analyzing <strong>the</strong> motivational trends that emerged from <strong>the</strong> discourse, but focuses<br />
