The present paper draws, firstly, its attention to the relationship between social evolution and language change. The author also examines the nature of major contact phenomena, especially two phenomena of lexical interference: lexical borrowing and the code-switching, as these appear in bilingual communities. Studies have shown that code-switching is not a manifestation of mental confusion but a rule-governed behaviour among bilinguals which is motivated by various socio-psychological as well as linguistic factors.
