Note only "code-switching"

edit

Unfortunately I don't have the time to figure out a good fix for this right now, but I want to note that although the intro of this article describes Bahasa Rojak as "code-switching", the concept seems to actually extend to the use of recent loan words, which are linguistically a different phenomenon than code-switching. For example, the (overall underexplained) "Examples" section includes these two examples:

  • Kau memang terror la! - You're really great!
  • Tempat makan ni best sangat! - This food court is really cool!

These are examples of loan words from English, not code-switching - if they were code-switching, then the words would have the same meaning as they do in English, whereas here they seem to have taken on slightly different meanings (a common feature of loan words).
