Specifically, it looks at the Morocco's linguistic history and previous studies done about Moroccans code-switching from Moroccan Arabic to French. It then examines Moroccan's conversations on Facebook, looking at which genres Moroccans code-switch and why. This exploration looks at an existing genre of linguistics that has not yet touched upon new forms of media. It argues that there is another code — an "international" code, which is a language composed of internationally understood terms. B.A., Columbia University.
