description This paper discusses methodological frameworks to capture language choice patterns in communities undergoing language shift. An alternative framework employed in a study of a complex language contact situation is presented.

Earlier and recent theories of language choice are adopted in data collection and analysis, i.e. the macro-sociological construct and the method of observation from the micro-interactional approach. From the study of social variation in language, the notion of speaker variation in language choice, and the implicational scaling technique are incorporated in analysis.
