Code-switching, the practice of alternating between two or more languages or varieties of language in conversation, is a complex sociolinguistic phenomenon governed by its own syntactic and pragmatic constraints. Early theories often viewed it as a sign of linguistic deficiency. However, modern sociolinguistics, particularly through frameworks like the Matrix Language Frame (MLF) model proposed by Myers-Scotton, interprets it as a skilled, strategic behavior. Within this modern understanding, which statement provides the most precise and accurate description of the motivations and constraints of code-switching?

Alternativa A:
Code-switching is primarily a random act performed by bilinguals who have not fully mastered either language, resulting in frequent grammatical errors in both.
Alternativa B:
According to the MLF model, code-switching is structurally constrained; for example, a switch cannot occur between a bound morpheme and a lexical stem, demonstrating that it follows systematic grammatical principles.
Alternativa C:
The primary motivation for code-switching is to exclude others from a conversation, serving exclusively as a tool for creating social distance.
Alternativa D:
Code-switching only occurs at the sentence level (intersentential), as switching within a single clause (intrasentential) is universally ungrammatical and incomprehensible.
Alternativa E:
Pragmatic functions of code-switching are limited to direct quotation, where a speaker reports what someone said in another language.
