    Code-switching → Diglossia

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Code-switching is the alternation between linguistic codes in use. Diglossia concerns the socially patterned distribution of functions across varieties. Individual switches can be analysed in that context, but they cannot establish diglossia on their own.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Diglossia concerns how a community assigns different functions to its language varieties. Code-switching concerns alternation in actual language use. Evidence of a functional division and evidence of switching answer different questions.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    In a diglossic community, different varieties may serve different settings and tasks. Register helps explain how language use responds to such situations and expectations, including in communities with no comparable division.

    Diglossia → Sociolect

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Diglossia concerns the functions varieties serve in a community. A sociolect concerns patterns associated with a social group. The two can intersect when a group uses a particular variety for a particular purpose.
