▼a The present study is an attempt to explore a new dimension of language use: how Arabic is utilized in the social media, Twitter in particular. It attempts to examine codeswitching (CS) in its written form between standard Arabic (SA) and Saudi d |
| 520 | |
▼a 1. What are the functions of using CS on Saudi Twitter? Are these functions different from the functions of CS in face-to-face interactions? 2. Do patterns of CS differ by gender and education? 3. Do patterns of CS differ by topic? |

▼a The current study adopts the sociolinguistic approach and provides a qualitative descriptive and quantitative analysis of 7350 tweets which were collected between December 2016 and July 2017, from 210 Saudi Twitter accounts diversified in terms |

▼a Regarding the role of topic in CS patterns, the present study provided evidence against Ferguson's prediction (1959) in which he associated code choice with the topic and situation. It revealed that CS occurred in different contexts that varied |

▼a As for gender, the study found that men utilized SA more than women, and this confirms previous findings of Ibrahim (1986), and Abd-El-Jawad (1987), Badawi (1973), and Haeri (1996a), Schmidt (1974), and Walters (1996) that women with the same le |

▼a Regarding education, the present study found that the Saudi Twitter users with high and college education used SA more than their counterparts with less than college education. However, the current study should have considered age in addition to |
