Abstract
In this review, we address the main points presented by Margaret Deucher at the conference Questioning assumptions in code-switching research, on July 8, 2020, as part of the activities of Abralin Ao Vivo – Linguists Online. The phenomenon of code-switching is understood as the use of more than one language in the same statement. Then, the means by which code-switching can be identified and differentiated among linguistic borrowings are discussed. Finally, questions on the evidences in CS norms in bilingual communities are brought to the fore, to which the author argues there may be rules, regarding the code-switching norms, acquired by the communities.
