Summary: This is a CBS presentation video (08/11/2007). It presents a questionnaire about language attitude towards code-switching and code-mixing in HK, Singapore and Mainland Universities. They have previous knowledge about it and their personal opinions were requested. All use both strategies and it varies according to personal and social reasons. When they opinion as university students were asked, it varied significantly: most of them think it is interesting, all of them agree it is a cultural phenomenon, but two interveners presents opposite answers: One think it is a symptom of lack of knowledge in one language; the other thinks it is fascinating how people can adapt and create language to suit their communication necessities. Although they are from bilingual cultures, they have different reactions towards the topic.
