This study was designed to add to the empirical literature on bilingualism and identity development as a first step toward developing the construct of bilingual identity. The primary research question was developed to understand how language switching tendencies, level of acculturation, language proficiency, age of acquisition, and ethnic identity interact to create a bilingual identity. The investigation involved a quantitative analysis of survey data and demographics collected from online questionnaires to examine whether ethnic identity, age of acquisition, language proficiency, and level of acculturation would jointly and independently predict levels of language switching. The participants were all Hispanic or Latino native Spanish-English speaking bilinguals, who learned Spanish before the age of five, were raised biculturally, and were first, 1.5, or second generation immigrants to the U.S. The research data shows that the younger the age of participants when they learned English, the more likely they were to engage in language switching, while the more acculturated they were to U.S. culture, the less likely they were to engage in language switching. Quantitative results indicate that conscious and unconscious language switching depends on language proficiency, age of acquisition, and acculturation. Qualitative findings suggest the reasons and contexts for language switching, including emotional expression, emotion management, accommodation to the needs of the listener, and various accommodations in work or social contexts. This study contributed to the construct development of bilingual identity, and suggested the potential benefit of utilizing language switching as a coping strategy available to bilingual individuals. Future research should enlarge the construct of bilingual identity to capture the experience of individuals who feel that being bilingual involves "something more" than speaking two languages.
