The subject research is an exhaustive study of the practice of code-switching and code-mixing among bilinguals in the context of the Pakistan Defense Forces... The frequency of mixing of codes is carried out using the Gumperz' (1982) model of metaphorical and conversational code-switching in which each function of context-based conversational code-switching is mentioned with its respective proportion. The manipulation or purpose of such code-mixing is also discussed using the conversational code-switching model, each function is thoroughly elaborated along with its implications in a social context. The findings of the proportion or frequency do not equally match that of the findings of Gumperz. The data analysis of the subject research shows the proportion of this is a function only 3%, which is less than all other five functions of conversational code-switching due to certain reasons.
