Code-mixing in Communication between Tour Guides: Balinese Case

The current study aims at describing the forms and factors of code-mixing in communication between tour guides. The study was conducted in Bali, Indonesia. The results showed that there were three forms of code-mixing in communication between tour guides, namely mixed English codes in the use of Balinese (outer), mixed Indonesian codes in the use of Balinese (inner), mixed codes (English and Indonesian).
