To describe the
code-switching in the speech of pre-school, bilingual Afrikaans-Dutch children, novel language data
of eight preschool children between the ages of 2;3 and 6;4 who are raised
bilingually in Afrikaans and Dutch in South Africa were collected and analysed.
The parent-report method was employed to collect the data, and the data
collection period lasted a total of approximately two months.
