Abstract

ABSTRACT Participants read English-based online texts from fictional organizations that either included no code-mixing, Hawaiian words without glosses (i.e., parenthetical translations), or Hawaiian words with English glosses. Relative to no code-mixing, code-mixing without glosses disrupted processing fluency, leading participants to feel less welcome in the organization. Code-mixing with glosses did not disrupt fluency for participants from Hawai‘i, where this practice is common, but did for people from elsewhere. No differences in feeling welcome emerged between code-mixing with glosses and no code-mixing conditions. These results suggest that code-mixing in written organizational materials can have both costs (i.e., disrupted fluency) and benefits (i.e., cueing inclusiveness), and that these effects depend on audiences’ familiarity with code-mixing as a practice, and the format of code-mixing.

书面代码混合对处理流畅性和组织包容性认知的影响

参与者阅读来自虚构组织的基于英语的在线文本，这些文本要么没有代码混合，要么没有注释的夏威夷语单词(即括号翻译)，要么有英语注释的夏威夷语单词。相对于没有代码混合，没有修饰的代码混合会破坏处理的流畅性，导致参与者在组织中感觉不那么受欢迎。对来自夏威夷的参与者来说，带着注释的代码混合并没有影响他们的流利程度，这种做法在夏威夷很常见，但对来自其他地方的人来说却有影响。在有光泽的代码混合和没有代码混合的条件下，受欢迎的感觉没有差异。这些结果表明，书面组织材料中的代码混合可能既有成本(即中断的流畅性)也有收益(即提示包容性)，而这些影响取决于受众对代码混合的熟悉程度以及代码混合的格式。
