Some scholars like Lv Dairong (Lv, 2003) explore the effect of code switching on the communication from the perspective of sociallinguistics. Li Jingwei (Li, 2004) took the perspective of syntax, focus on the grammar rule when two different kinds of languages exist in a sentence.

Wang Jin, Huang Guowen and Lv Dairong(Wang,2004; Huang,2014& Lv,2004) employed conservation analysis for the research on code switching. Yu Guodong and Liu Zhengguang(Yu,2000 & Liu, 2000) revealed the dynamic process of language use from the perspective of pragmatics. And at the same time, Yu Guogdong(Yu, 2004) put forward the Adaptation Model of code switching and explored the aim of code switching.
Many scholars combine the code switching with daily life and make the research on the practical significance. Wei Sen studied the code switching in literature works and analyzed the motivation of code switching. Dong Lianzhong(Dong,2013) linked the code switching with teaching in class and discussed its function in teaching. Zhang Fengxia(Zhang, 2011) made the research on dandarin and dialects.
