| Research Abstract |
I analyzed how code-switching was used based on the verbal data of people of Japanese descent collected in the city of Hilo, Hawaii, USA. Data analysis by generation revealed a dialectal characteristic in the second and third generations: they used loanwords of function words such as conjunctions and response words on a frequent basis. Additionally, I analyzed the differences between "conversations between those of Japanese descent and the Japanese" and "conversations among those of Japanese descent." The results revealed that Japanese/English code-switching occurred more frequently in "conversations among those of Japanese descent" and that Hawaiian Creole English was used more commonly.
