No, code switching involves a choice between 2 languages of varieties but lexical borrowing os because the lack of vocabulary.
Provide reasons for language change to occur.
The 4 reasons involves social status, gender, interaction and media. Social status are shown in member of the group with most social status, for example, tend to introduce changes into a speech community from neighbouring communities which have greater status and prestige in their eyes. Gender makes the reason as the women are leading changes towards the standard, while men are introducing new vernacular variants but women leading change towards the standard dialect applies only where women play some role in public social life. Interaction makes the reason as a lecturer cannot to talk to you as a student like she talks to another lecturer. She has to adjust according to your level. Media also makes the reason as popular compromise is the view that the media can soften listeners up by exposing them to new forms in the speech of admired pop stars or tv personalities. Some believe that frequent exposure to a pronunciation on television can bring about change. Others argue that face-to-face interaction is necessary before change occurs.
