What is code switching?

Code switching is when you change something about the topic of the discussion because of the relationship you have with the people around you. Code-switching is defined as the practice of switching between a primary and a secondary language or discourse. In my situation of code-switching I think I act more like myself when im with my softball friends because we have so much in common. With my Decatur softball friends I feel like no matter who I want to be I can be.
