Abstract
Political discourse is one of the most interesting data to study power relations in the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis.With the increase in the modes of textual and spoken forms of communication, politicians use language and linguistic mechanisms that contribute significantly in building their relationship with people, especially in a multilingual country like India with many political parties with different ideologies.This paper analyses code-mixing and code-switching in Telugu political speeches to determine the factors responsible for their usage levels in various social settings and communicative contexts.We also compile a detailed set of rules capturing dialectal variations between Standard and Telangana dialects of Telugu. Observations and ResultsAfter annotating based on these guidelines, the results are tabulated as follows.Speech No.of Words Dialectal level Code-mixing Language level Code-mixing Code-Switching 1 2153 19.9% E-5.4% H-0.8% E-0.1% H-17.4% 2 1137
TL;DRCode-switching (CSW) is predominantly used in speech but since it also tends to be more prevalent in casual settings, it can observe CSW in genres like social media platforms where interactions tend to be more casual. (Semantic Scholar)
