Blom and Gumperz posit that the social context of an interaction, including participants, setting, and topic, influence the linguistic forms used. They found that among groups of men greeting each other, the language varied from teachers presenting in a classroom. Teachers reported treating lectures and discussions within a class as different social events, using the standard language for lectures but a regional variety to encourage debate. Blom and Gumperz call this type of linguistic change within a single social setting to represent a changed context "situational switching".

Blom and Gumperz posited that social events, defined in terms of
participants, setting, and topic, restrict the selection of linguistic variables (421) in a manner that is somewhat analogous to syntactic or semantic restrictions. That is, in particular social situations, some linguistic forms may be more appropriate than others. Among groups of men greeting each other in workshops along the fjord, the variety of language used differed from that used by teachers presenting text material in the public school, for example. It is important to recognize that Colorado Research in Linguistics, Volume 19 (2006) 8 different social events may, for example, involve the same participants in the same setting when the topic shifts. Thus, teachers reported that they treated lecture versus discussion within a class as different events. While lectures were (according to teachers reports) delivered in the standard Bokml, a shift to the regional Ranaml was used to encourage open debate. Blom and Gumperz call this type of shift, wherein a change in linguistic form represents a changed social setting, situational switching (424). The definition of metaphorical switching relies on the use of two language varieties within a single social setting. Blom and Gumperz describe interactions between clerks and residents in the community administration office wherein greetings take place in the local dialect, but business is transacted in the standard.
