THE USE OF ENGLISH-INDONESIAN CODE SWITCHING AND CODE MIXING: A QUALIITATIVE STUDY OF SOCIOLINGUISTICS AT 8TH SEMESTER OF PBI-A OF IAIN SYEKH NURJATI CIREBON

SITI NURHAJA SARAH: THE USE OF ENGLISH-INDONESIAN CODE SWITCHING AND CODE MIXING: A QUALIITATIVE STUDY OF SOCIOLINGUISTICS AT 8TH SEMESTER OF PBI-A OF IAIN SYEKH NURJATI CIREBON English as a global language has commonly demanded people to know it. They begin learning it so that they can survive as the global era runs. That the people of our country begin learning that foreign language, it reflects to the idea of bilingualism and multilingualism, such as the English students of PBI-A of IAIN Syekh Nurjati. Code switching and code mixing is the linguistic phenomena and conversational behavior that appear due to the fact of bilingualism and multilingualism among the people. Thus, in this research, the investigation aims to describe such kinds of conversational sociolinguistic phenomena, especially in studying the formulation of code mixing, the type of code switching and code mixing, and the reasons and motivations of PBI-A students switching and mixing he codes. Poplack (cited in Kim, 2006) states that code switching is the alternation of two languages within a single discourse, sentence or constituent. In addition, code mixing refers to all cases where lexical items and grammatical features from two languages appear in a sentence (Muysken, 2000). This research is a qualitative study in the form of a case study, in which the researcher only investigates a speech community of PBI-A. In this research, there are some steps in analyzing the problem of the research; coding, classifying and describing, which all data of formulation and of type of code switching and code mixing are performed in table. The research findings show that there are two ways of formulation code mixing like the two of three theories that Muysken describes the process of code mixing. The researcher also finds that the six theories of Hoffman (1991) in classifying code switching and code mixing really occur in the discourse of the respondents. In addition, there are many reasons and motivation why the respondents of PBI-A switch the English-Indonesian codes. After analyzing and discussing the study, it can be concluded that the phenomena of code switching and code mixing is a sociolinguistic conversational behavior in bilingual and multilingual sphere. The research also has implication that it can give a better understanding to the readers about such a conversational behavior of code switching and code mixing. The other implication of this research is to build the perspective of awareness in interacting and contacting to people. One cannot apply a same code, especially code switching and code mixing, to all people in all situations. However, ones have to realize the condition, situation as well as the interlocutors they talk to by choosing proper codes, in this specific investigation is the use of code switching and code mixing
