Some sociolinguistic scholars divided the phenomenon of code-shifting into the interference, borrowing and code-switching according to he chosen code in the conversation.
And it has been cleared that code-switching is not random alternation of two (or more) varieties both between and within sentences but to be governed not only by extra-linguistics but also linguistics factors. That is to say, it has been proved that there are some constraints of code-switching.
In this articles, I will analyze the form and constraints of code-switching in Arabic language based on the educated Arabs' speech.
I also will divide the code-shifting of the educated Arabs' speech into the interference, borrowing and code-switching and try to analysis each character. And I will try to find the general constraints of code-switching in the educated Arabs' speech.
