Firstly, this study applied a theoretical framework pioneered by Poplack (1980) namely tag code-switching, intrasentential code-switching and intersentential code-switching. The results of the initial review found that intrasentential code-switching has the highest frequency (79.34%), followed by intersentential code-switching (13.64%) and tag code-switching (7.02%).

The findings demonstrated that the three highest factors contributing to code-switching are switching for effective function, topic as well as participants, solidarity and status. Meanwhile, lexical borrowing and metaphorical switching were the least factors of the code-switching phenomenon in the novel. Generally, the findings explained code-switching as an effective communicative strategy which are beneficial to make the novelist’ intended meaning explicit and to preserve the engagement among the characters.

Apart for leisure purposes, novels also allowed us to discover varied language phenomenon including code-switching due to its non-specific writing styles. This study investigated code-switching of English-French used in the narrative and dialogues of the French Kissing novel by Catherine Sanderson.
