 The term '''code-mixing''' is variously defined in different subfields of linguistics. Many studies of [[morphology]] or [[syntax]] use the term as a synonym for [[code-switching]], the alternating use by bilingual speakers of two or more different languages within a single utterance (e.g. Kachru 1978, Muysken 2000).
-Studies in [[psycholinguistics]] similarly definition code-mixing as "the transition from using linguistic units (words, phrases, clauses, etc.) of one language to using those of another within a single sentence" (Sridhar and Sridhar 1980). In contrast to Muysken's treatment of code-switching and code-mixing as synonymous, however, Sridhar and Sridhar note differentiate the two, arguing that code-switching as [[Pragmatics|pragmatic]] or discourse-oriented functions that may be absent in code-mixing.

 Some recent work in [[sociolinguistics]] builds on this functional differentiation. Alvarez (1998) argues that formal code-mixing or language alternation should be treated as distinct from code-switching, defined in pragmatic or discourse terms.
