“…Through his research, he proved that the codeswitching pattern is not spontaneous it is constrained by social factors like education. Khan (2014) research on codeswitching shows that if codeswitching happens between L1 and L2 (in the case of this study it was English and Phasto Language)the insertion remains the dominant pattern. Through study, it was found out that embedded language noun is the most prevalent switched element in the morphosyntax frame of Matrix Language.…”

Khan (2014Khan ( , 2020 has only focused on the structural dimension of codeswitching.

“…This study is much important as English is the official language of Pakistan and many English words are indigenized with the help of phonological and morphological integration (Khan, 2016). The type of bilingualism that is observed in the KP of the Pashto speech community is selective bilingualism and that's why the density of bilingualism can only allow the patterns of insertion (Khan, 2014).…”

The study indicates that education is the key factor that influences English codeswitching and it also shows that Pashto is the dominant language of communication and is used as a symbol of solidarity and social marker in the Pashto speech community. Application of the study: The researcher can extend this study of codeswitching to a different contact setting such Pashto-Urdu and Pashto-Punjabi. The density of bilingualism is expected to give different types of codeswitching patterns. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is the pioneer study that focused on the effect of social factors on the selection of language in bilingual settings.

The study is concerned with the phonological reduction in Pashto. The study particularly focuses on the reduction in the structure of complex predicates, verbal clitics and postpositional phrases in Pashto. The study finds out that the phonological reduction has syntactic/semantic or phonological factors allowing or constraining it. These more or less reduced and expanded forms are closely related to a number of linguistics abstractions. In structures with verbal clitics and postpositions, the reduction is optional, while in structure with complex predicates, the phonological reduction is obligatory if the compound verb denotes imperfective aspect. The obligatory reduction makes a single phonological unit from two syntactic units by omitting consonants or vowels in the structure of the phrase. The reduction is avoided if it creates an ambiguity of some kind or if the meaning of the lexical items is changed, and so, its allowance in one structure is constrained in another.
