Abstract
Urduization of English language in routine life is a very
common phenomenon in Pakistan in the present consumption of
English as a second language . The study aims to explore various
patterns of Urduization of English at lexical level. The proposed
study follows the mixed method approach. Data have been
collected from text messages in which Urduized words are used.
The frequency of such words has been calculated and qualitatively
analyzed. The researchers also aim to identify the basic reasons
behind the use of such a vocabulary. The study will help the
scholars interested in linguistic hybridity, world Englishes, code
switching and sociolinguistics in Pakistani context.
