The scholarly inquiry, "Linguistic Hybridity and Identity Formation: A Code-switching Analysis of Godan," examines the complex dynamics of language, identity, and culture in Premchand's seminal novel. Through a critical analysis of code-switching in Godan, this study explores how linguistic hybridity reflects the tensions between traditional and modern identities in colonial India (Bakhtin, 1981)
As Myers-Scotton (1993) notes, code-switching is a powerful tool for negotiating identity and social relationships. In Godan, Premchand's use of code-switching between Hindustani, English, and other local languages reveals the complexities of identity formation in a multilingual context (Gumperz, 1982).
The insights gained from this study argues that linguistic hybridity in Godan reflects the negotiation of multiple identities and cultural affiliations in colonial India. By examining the role of code-switching in shaping identity and social relationships, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex intersections of language, culture, and identity in Indian literature
