CODE MIXING


      Code-Mixing is the use of two or more language by putting in/inserting linguistic elements in one language into other language consistently. In code-mixing, dependency features are marked by the relationship between the language role and function. If the speaker mixes his/her code/language, then it must be asked who the speaker is: his/her social background, level of education, religion, etc. A speaker who masters many languages will have chance to mix code more than the other speaker who only masters one or two languages.

1.      The Factors Influencing Code-mixing

There are two types of factors influencing code-mixing:

a.       Attitudinal (perilaku) type (seen from attitude background)
b.      Linguistic type (seen from linguistic background)

2.      Some reasons to mix code

         a.       Role identification such as social, registral, education.
         b.      Style identification such as: the language use
         c.       The desire to explain and interpret: the speaker’s attitude and relationship with other persons and the reverse.[1]

So, code-mixing occurs when there is co-relationship between the role of (speaker), linguistic forms and language functions.

3.      Examples

  •        The use of Dutch language represents that the speaker is educated and “tempo doeloe” person.
  •         The use of ‘krama inggil’ in Indonesia- Javanese language represents that the speaker is from     royal family or “bangsawan” Etc.

            Some Code-mixing Forms:
  •           Elements inserted in the form of words, example : in Indonesian language can be found “Mangka seringkali sok ada kata-kata seolah-olah bahasa daerah itu kurang penting”.
  •           Elements inserted in the form of phrases, Example : in Indonesian language can be found “Nah, karena sudah kadhung apik sama dia ya tak teken".
  •           Elements inserted in the form of busters, Example: Banyak klap malam harus ditutup, Hendaknya segera diadakan hutanisasi kembali.
  •           Elements inserted in the form of reduplication, Example: Sudah waktunya kita menghindari backing-backingan dan klik-klikan.
