Explain code mixing and its constraints. Also differentiate it from code switching with examples.

Code-mixing refers to the practice of blending elements of two or more languages within a single conversation or discourse. It can involve the switching of words, phrases, clauses, or even sentences, drawing on multiple languages, often seamlessly. This phenomenon is common in multilingual societies, where speakers switch between languages due to social, cognitive, or communicative reasons. Code-mixing is influenced by various factors, such as the speaker's linguistic proficiency, the context of communication, the interlocutor's language knowledge, and the communicative function of language.

The process of code-mixing can occur at different levels. Lexical code-mixing involves the insertion of a word or a set of words from one language into the sentence structure of another language. For example, in a conversation between a Hindi-English bilingual speaker, the sentence "I am going to the market, मुझे कुछ खरीदना है" ("I am going to the market, I need to buy something") is an example of lexical code-mixing, where the phrase "मुझे कुछ खरीदना है" (Hindi) is inserted into an English sentence.

Another form is syntactic code-mixing, where the grammatical structure of one language is used with elements of another. An example of syntactic code-mixing would be: "She was very upset क्योंकि वह अपना सामान भूल गई थी" (English-Hindi mix), which translates as "She was very upset because she _________ ___ ______ ____ _______ _________ _______ _______ ________.
