CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
This chapter discusses the background of the study, the statement of the problems, the
purposes of the study, the significance of the study, the scope and limitation, and the definition
of the key terms.
1.1 Background of the Study
Language is a tool for our communication. It means that humans need it to interact or
communicate with others in their daily life. Without language, people will feel difficult to
understand and to communicate with each other ‘Language is, of course, the central object of
study in the linguistic sciences, but the term covers several rather different concepts which need
to be carefully distinguished’ (Trask, 1999: 138). So, it helps us create our social words and
labels the meanings we ascribe to people, things and events.
In Indonesia, when people speak usually they use more than one language. They are
Indonesian, as national language, and regional languages like Javanese, Sundanese, Maduranese,
etc. Also English as International Language. So Indonesian people can be called as Bilingual and
Multilingual society. According to Trask (1999: 30), ‘Bilingual or multilingual is the ability
to speak two languages and there is good reason to believe that bilingualism or multilingualism
has been the norm for most human beings at least for the last few millennia’.
In bilingual and multilingual society, there are two kinds of code: code switching and
and to make their communication more understandable, more simple, etc. Wardhaugh (1986:1)
states, ‘When two or more people communicate with each other in speech, we can call the
system of communication that they employ a code’. When they mix of their sentences between
one language to another language in the conversation, it is called code mixing. According to
Wardhaugh (1986: 103), ‘Code mixing occurs when conversant use both languages together to
extent that they change from one language to the other in the course of a single utterance’. In
conclusion, it is clear that code mixing is a mixture of word, phrase, and clauses of several
languages. It means that code mixing occurs when a speaker uses a certain language in his
communication: however, he inserts some pieces of another language.
The main function of language is to communicate people and another. It means that in
communication, people always use the language. So, language and communication are related.
Another function of language is to get relationship with another. According to Trudgill (2000:1),
‘Language is not simply a means of communicating information about the weather or any
spoken word, such as talking face-to-face, on a telephone, on a dialogue, etc. It can be through
visual aid or broadcasting media such as radio and television.
Television as a tool of visual communication has grown fast in Indonesia today. It is one
of the tools of mass communication in electronic media. Television becomes a need for people
because watching television is often done by people to refresh and relax their mind. Besides, by
watching television people can get many informations that they need. The information include
TVRI, RCTI, INDOSIAR, SCTV, TRANS 7, TRANS, etc. TRANS is one of the channels that
show many interesting programs, such as; news, movies, quizzes, talk show, etc. There are
bilingualism phenomena in talk show programs, such as; Bukan Empat Mata, With Farah Quinn,
Gaul Bareng Bule, Ala Chef, etc. The presenters use two languages when they present the
programs. One of the programs is Ala Chef.
Ala Chef is one of the famous programs broadcasted by TRANS. The program is actually
presented in Indonesia language, but sometimes the presenter also uses English word or phrase.
