This study deals with the identification and characterization of the variable features of
code-switching as used by Yoruba-English bilinguals in Lagos, Nigeria. Against the
background of the domestication of English in Nigeria and the reality of language
variation across individual, social and generational perspectives, we explore the unique
linguistic strategies with which the Yoruba-English speaker reinvents urban speech to
meet the challenges of contemporary dynamics of communication in a fast changing
world.
