I. Introduction
This thesis, "An Analysis of Code Mixing Found in Twivortiare Novel by Ika Natassa," investigates the prevalence and function of code-mixing in a popular Indonesian novel. The introduction establishes the context of code-mixing within the broader framework of bilingualism and multilingualism in Indonesia, highlighting the increasing influence of English in daily communication. The study's significance lies in its contribution to sociolinguistics and its potential pedagogical applications for teaching language use and cultural awareness.
1.1 Background of the Study
The background establishes the importance of language in communication, differentiating between oral and written forms. It then discusses the rise of bilingualism and multilingualism in Indonesia due to increased globalization and international interaction. This sets the stage for the study of code-mixing, defining bilingualism and multilingualism, and introducing code-mixing and code-switching as natural outcomes of interacting with multiple languages. It contextualizes the study within the broader phenomenon of Indolish, the mixing of Indonesian and English, and establishes the choice of Ika Natassa's 'Twivortiare' as a relevant case study, emphasizing the novel's popularity and its frequent use of Indolish.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The research questions directly address the core aspects of the analysis. It clearly defines the objectives: identifying types of code-mixing employed in 'Twivortiare', analyzing the contextual factors influencing code-mixing choices, and uncovering the author's motivations for utilizing code-mixing in her narrative. This structured approach ensures a focused and manageable research scope.
1.3 Purpose of the Study
The stated purposes directly correspond to the research questions. The study aims to describe the forms of code-mixing in the novel, to analyze the contexts in which they appear, and ultimately, to explain why the author chose to employ code-mixing. This clear articulation of purpose guides the research methodology and analysis.
1.4 Significance of the Study
This section highlights the theoretical and practical contributions of the research. Theoretically, it promises to enrich the field of sociolinguistics by providing detailed analysis of a specific instance of code-mixing. Practically, it offers valuable insights for students of English, sociolinguistics lecturers, and future researchers working on similar topics. This emphasizes the broader impact and relevance of the study beyond the confines of the thesis itself.
1.5 Scope and Limitations
This section clearly defines the boundaries of the study. The scope is explicitly limited to the analysis of code-mixing in 'Twivortiare' novel only. The limitations focus on the type of code-mixing investigated, specifying that the analysis only covers Indonesian-English code-mixing. This transparent declaration of scope and limitations enhances the study's credibility and prevents overgeneralization of findings.
1.6 Definition of Key Terms
This section provides working definitions for crucial terms to ensure clarity and consistency. It defines 'bilingualism', 'code-mixing', and 'novel' using established academic definitions and adapts them to the specific context of the research. This section ensures that the analysis operates within a clear and unambiguous terminological framework.
II. Review of Related Literature
This chapter lays the groundwork for the analysis by reviewing relevant theories and prior research on language, language varieties, bilingualism, multilingualism, code-switching, and code-mixing. It explores the different types of code-mixing (word, phrase, clause) and discusses potential reasons behind code-mixing occurrences. This comprehensive literature review provides the theoretical framework for interpreting the findings.
2.1 Language
This section would explore existing definitions of language and its role in communication, drawing upon key linguistic theories and perspectives. It would likely examine different models of language acquisition and use relevant to code-mixing. The section sets a foundational understanding of the theoretical base of linguistics related to the thesis subject.
2.2 Language Variety
This section would delve into the concept of language varieties, including dialects, sociolects, and registers. It would establish the linguistic landscape relevant to Indonesian and English, providing a context for understanding the variation in language use found within ‘Twivortiare’. The section provides important context for the analysis of code-mixing, relating it to broader linguistic variation.
2.3 Bilingualism and Multilingualism
This section would review theories and models of bilingualism and multilingualism, covering aspects of language acquisition, proficiency, and language attitudes. It would likely discuss the psychological and sociocultural factors influencing bilingual language use. This forms a crucial theoretical basis for understanding the social context of code-mixing in Indonesia.
2.4 Code Switching and Code Mixing
This section distinguishes between code-switching and code-mixing, defining each concept and exploring the linguistic mechanisms involved. It would draw upon established research and theories in sociolinguistics to differentiate between these two closely related phenomena and would lay the groundwork for the study's specific focus on code-mixing.
2.5 The Types of Code Mixing
This section would classify different types of code-mixing according to linguistic units (word, phrase, clause). It would offer examples of each type and discuss their implications for understanding the complexity of code-mixing. This section provides a structured approach for categorizing and analyzing the different code-mixing instances in the chosen novel.
2.6 The Reasons for the Occurrence of Code Mixing
This section examines the various sociolinguistic and pragmatic factors that contribute to code-mixing. It would include a discussion of relevant theories such as accommodation theory, markedness, and the role of social context in shaping language choices. This establishes the theoretical framework for interpreting the motivations behind the author's use of code-mixing in 'Twivortiare'.
