Keywords: SNS, Code switching, Discourse Strategy, Language Selection This paper suggests such discourse strategies are adopted to make successful and effective communication in the given context. In SNS group chats, Chinese Korean and Chinese use code switching depending on formality of information, for instance, a notice for formal and a request for personal help or personal question for informal. It is also shown that Chinese uses L1 in daily conversation but they use Korean when asking for official or personal help.

This shows that the preceding languages affect language selection of the following person. In daily conversation, on the other hand, there was no obvious consistent tendency.

Chinese Koreans generally used Korean when saying official things or objective information.

The findings represent Chinese Koreans and Chinese students use a lot of code switching strategies in the observed texts. This study observed and analyzed several dialogues of 10 Chinese Koreans and 10 Chinese living in Korea. Abstract This study aims to figure out the discourse functions of code switching which occurs in SNS chats, ‘Kakaotalk’ (Korean Mobile Messenger) and ‘Wechat’ (Chinese Mobile Messenger).
