ABSTRACT
Junaidi. 2016. Code Mixing in Raditya Dika’s Novels Faculty of Languages and Arts. State University of Medan.
This study dealt with Code Mixing in Raditya Dika’s Novels. The study was conducted by using descriptive qualitative design as the research method. The data of the study were collected from two Novels of Raditya Dika compositing of 437 sentences. From this study, it was found that there were 2 types of code-mixing that used in the novels. They were 336 sentences (77%) for the insertion type and 101 sentences (23%) for the alternation type. The most dominant type of code mixing used was insertion (77%) because Raditya Dika represented young generation nowadays that wanted to follow the development of up to date language where the good young man used foreign language to show their existence in their life. But they didn’t know much about foreign language so they just mixed their little knowledge about foreign language with their mother tongue. That was why they used insertion more than the other types of code mixing.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. The Background of the Study
Language is closely related to how people communicate with one another
(Yuliana: 2015). It has very important roles in daily human communication that was
to share or deliver to other people in a society. That is why language is very
important for human life. In general, as human beings, people have their social life
that influences their language, that’s why people have a study about
sociolinguistics. Wardaugh (2002: 12) says that sociolinguistics is the study of
language that concerned with investigating the relationships between language and
society with the goal being a better understanding of the structure of language and
of how language function to communication
People were always faced with language chosen when day speak. In addition
to language choice, people may sometimes mix up two or more languages.
Moreover, people who live in bilingual community tend to use two various
languages in communication to each other.
Nowadays, people develop some knowledge and ability in a second
language and so become bilingual switched to another one. Nababan (1991:27)
confirms that bilingualisms are a habit to use two languages in interaction to the
other. Bilingualism is one of the causes of code mixing. Bilingualism itself occurs
2
In bilingual communication, two or more languages are often use along
together. Sometimes the languages are mixed or they switched to another one. These
are known as code mixing and code switching. Code – switching and code – mixing
are well – known traits in the speech pattern of the average bilingual in any human
society the world over (Ayeomoni: 2006). It can occur in any language such as
English-Indonesia.
Nababan (1991:32) argues that code mixing is the situation where the
speaker mixes the language or variety of language in a speech act or discourse
without a situation or condition that need a mixing of the language. Code mixing is
the chance of one language to another within the same utterance or in the same
oral/written text (Judy Woon: 2007). It occurs if the speakers use one language
dominantly to support an expression which is inserted by another language.
Code-mixing could appear in every context of communication, the change of one
language to another within the same utterance or the same oral/written text. It is a
common phenomenon in societies in which two or more languages not only found
in oral communication but also in written text. In mixing one language with
another, there are divisions of code mixing.
According to Muysken (2000:3), there are three types of code mixing,
Insertion, Alternation, and Congruent Lexicalization. Insertion is the mixing of a
language with another language which mixes words and phrases into a sentence.
Alternation is the mixing of one language with another language which occur a
mixing of a clause in the sentence. Congruent lexicalization is mixing of two or
3
meaning, origin, or spelling. In addition, he says that the most common occurrence
of code mixing variants in society is insertional code mixing which mixes words
and phrases into a sentence.
This research focused on the use of Indonesian-English code-mixing in
novel. Hudson (2003:163) says that a novel is concerned directly with life between
man and woman, their relationships, their thought and feelings, with their passion
and motives by which they are governed and impelled, and with their joys and
sorrow, their straggles, successes and failures. Since the novelist’s theme is life, it
is impossible for him not to give expressly or by implication of some suggestion of
the impression which life makes upon him.
Based on the explanation above the writer wanted to find out types of
code-mixing and determined the dominant type of code-code-mixing in the Raditya Dika’s
novel. Raditya Dika used to be called Radith was born in Jakarta, December 28,
1984 with the full name Raditya Dika. Radith is a writer from Indonesia who is
known as the author of humorous books. Raditya Dika has created and published
six comedy novels from 2005 to 2011. they were:
2005 - Kambing Jantan: Sebuah Catatan Harian Pelajar Bodoh
2006 - Cinta Brontosaurus
2007 - Radikus Makankakus: Bukan Binatang Biasa
2008 - Babi Ngesot: Datang Tak Diundang Pulang Tak Berkutang
4
2011 - Manusia Setengah Salmon
The study of investigating code-mixing was urgent because nowadays
Indonesian community is bilingual or multilingual community society. It caused
people who live in bilingual community has tendency to use two codes or more
when they communicate to each other. And in the Muskeyn’s theory, it says that
Insertional type of code mixing is commonly use. So the writer wanted to see the
truth of Muskeys. And why this study took the object of “Raditya dika? it was
because Raditya is a person who is mostly popular in teenager’s life and also uses
the most update style of language which was also certainly uses bilingual or
multilingual languages.
There were some studies also discussed about the code mixing before which
were anxious to have a research and analyzed about what happened in the code
mixing. About what the dominant type was and some more. Here are some of them.
They were Syarifah in her research (2016) on Code Mixing in Cross-Cultural
Communication of Junior High School Students of Al Kautsar, Lubis also in his
study (2014) about Code-Mixing of Gender Language Among
Trans-Gender into Indonesian Language in Medan, and in addition, Napitupulu (2010)
in his research about Code Mixing and Code Switching Used by The Presenters
on RRI Station Medan. They were all discussed about what was the dominant type
of code mixing occurred in each of their object. That’s why the writer also
analyzed about code mixing but in Raditya Dika’s novel to represent about the
