The study attempts to investigate the phenomenon of code-switching in conversation between the Kurds bilingual speakers in khanaqeen city from a sociolinguistic perspective. The main aim of this study is to investigate the conversational functions of code-switching performed by bilingual speakers in their daily oral interactions from a sociolinguistic point of view.
 It is hypothesized that Kurdish people in khanaqeen code-switch from Kurdish to Arabic and vice versa to achieve a number of functions for e.g. quotation, lack of facility, reiteration etc. A model which includes seven functions for analyzing the collected data is adopted. The data that are used are collected by using audio- recording of participant conversation in various domains. The theoretical part includes the functional model which is adopted for investigating the audio -recording data while the practical part includes audio-recording and analyzing the participants' conversation. The findings of this research reveal that code-switching occurs in conversation between the bilingual speakers in the city to serve several sociolinguistic functions or reasons. In addition to these reasons that stand behind code switching, the results of analysis reveal that there are three patterns of code switching: inter-sentential, intra-sentential and tag switching. The results also show that the intra-sentential pattern is used more frequently than other patterns among the bilingual speakers in the city. Finally the analysis of the data confirms the hypothesis adopted in the study.
