Why do we change the way we speak, is it insecurity, conformity, prejudice? Why do we try to sound posh, or urban, intelligent, or funny? Why does our language have to reflect so much of our personality? Code Switching is prevalent in many of our lives, yet our reasons for adjusting our accents and language differ greatly. Language can be a means to convey our identity, so by changing it so frequently, one could argue that we are changing ourselves in the process. Or merely ashamed of how others will perceive us if we spoke like we usually did, with our accents and slang.
