Which languages are involved in the code-switching example described in the material?

• A. ASL and Thai Sign Language
• B. ASL and British Sign Language
• C. ASL and Japanese Sign Language
• D. ASL and Korean Sign Language

Answer: (A)

Code-switching in sign languages means alternating between two distinct signed languages within a single discourse. The example described uses American Sign Language alongside Thai Sign Language, showing signs (and sometimes grammar features) from both languages in one utterance. This pairing is the one specified in the material, so it best fits the example. The other options involve different sign languages (British Sign Language, Japanese Sign Language, Korean Sign Language) that aren’t the ones described in the example.
