Inspired by previous studies in this field, this paper addresses code-switching under the guidance of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), with the primary goal of analysing the interpersonal meanings of code-switching in three TV series. The research data were collected as follows: first, internet resources were examined to find three popular TV series with code-switching, namely I Not Stupid, Moonlight Resonance and Humble Abode; second, the data were selected, classified and observed for analysis. As the focus of this paper is interpersonal meaning, functional theories were elaborated towards a single framework for interpersonal meanings of code-switching in two parts: appraisal theory and tenor in register. The first part aims to evaluate emotions which are embedded in code-switching. The second part deals with the roles and relationships between different participants. With these theories included in the research, qualitative analyses were conducted: first of all, sample data were categorised based on their grammatical structures; then interpersonal meanings of code-switching are discussed under the guidance of these functional theories to test the applicability of SFL in this field. It is concluded that code-switching in these TV series is a natural reflection of interpersonal meanings in daily life. People switch codes to express their emotions and negotiate the interpersonal relationships between different participants. It is hoped that the major findings of the present research will contribute to broadening the research scope of code-switching.\u003Cbr>Keywords: code-switching, TV series, interpersonal meaning |  |  |\n| Introduction\u003Cbr>Background and Definition of Code-switching\u003Cbr>Code-switching is very widespread in daily life, especially used in bilingual communities.

Grosjean (1982) gives a brief idea of code-switching, defined as “the alternate use of two or more languages in the same utterance or conversation”(p. 145), holding that this can involve a word, a phrase or a sentence, considered as “an important means of conveying linguistic and social information”(p. 152) . Hudson’s (1980) explanation focuses on the result of bilingual contact, i.e.“the inevitable consequence of bilingualism (or, more generally, multilingualism)”(p. 51). Winford (2003) gives a grammatical explanation, indicating that it “involves several types of bilingual language mixture, including the alternating use of relatively complete utterances from two different languages, alternation between sentential and/or clausal structures from the two languages, and the insertion of (usually lexical) elements from one language into the other”(p. 101) . Based on the definitions, codeswitching refers to a combination of two or more languages. Also, it occurs in the same conversat","cbCaipIkX0alEdyf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipIkX0alEdyf","pdf",362862,17,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Background and Definition of Code-switching\n## Pragmatic Functions of Code-switching","[{\"question\":\"What is the primary research goal of the paper?\",\"answer\":\"To analyze the interpersonal meanings of code-switching in three TV series under the guidance of Systemic Functional Linguistics.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the data for the analysis collected?\",\"answer\":\"Three popular TV series with code-switching were identified through internet resources, and then the code-switching data were selected, classified, and observed for qualitative analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"Which theoretical components are used to explain interpersonal meanings?\",\"answer\":\"The paper uses appraisal theory to evaluate emotions embedded in code-switching and tenor in register to address participants’ roles and relationships.\"}]","Interpersonal Meaning of Code-switching: An Analysis of Three TV Series - Interpersonal Meaning and SFL Appraisal Analysis | PDF",1792078111,43]
