CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Research
Language may refer either to the specifically human capacity for acquiring
and using complex systems of communication, or to a specific instance of such a
system of complex communication. The functional theory of language sees
language as a system of communication that enables humans to cooperate.1 This
definition stresses the social functions of language and the fact that humans use it
to express themselves and to manipulate objects in their environment. The
scientific research of language in any of its senses is called linguistics.
Siregar in Code Alternation in Bilingual Speech Behavior says “Every
language express in some way or other how people think, perceive and act, in
what state people, things and ideas are and how they relate to each other. Words
which express action, states, perceptions, etc., the verbs occur in every language.
However, there are many differences in the way they can be structures, what
additional concepts they may express and what other words may occur with
them”.2
There are some varieties of possible relationship between language and
society, such as first is that social structure may either influence; second is
directly opposed the first; third is that the influence is bi-directional; fourth is to

assume that there is no relation at all between linguistic structure and social. The
switch of a language into another language in the middle of a conversation, either
conscious or unconscious is known as code switching, for example, the use of
Indonesian and Javanese alternately in certain conversation.
From the viewpoint of sociolinguistics, many researchers have focused
their attention on examining this phenomenon by the assumption that “some
understanding of the nature of code alternation and its meaning in everyday
interaction must be obtained.”3 It means that the description of code switching is very important to be obtained. Drawing on this assumption, in Jourdan and Tuite,
Poplack and Myers are able to seek universal description for code switching from
different angles. Poplack seeks the explanation from the view point of
grammatical structure and process, while Myers seeks the explanation which
relates linguistic phenomena to cognitive and social ones.4However, both of them
are not sure about relations between utterance- level grammar and other forms of
linguistic in this phenomenon.
In general, sociolinguistics is the research of the effect of any and all
aspects of society, including cultural norms, expectations, and context, on the way
language is used, and the effects of language use on society. Sociolinguistics is
concerned with the correlation between such social factors and linguistics
variations social factors in this case are age, religion, sex, gender and occupation”.

In using language there are some capabilities needed. In daily conversation
we also find some problems in using language. One of the most striking
phenomena in a bilingual’s linguistic performance is the occurrence of the
seemingly random mixing of two languages, both within the two utterances,
during a conversational exchange. This linguistic behavior not only attracts
scholarly attention but also raises questions about the various features which
characterize language-mixing. As Troike in Wardhaugh says “In every human being there are many codes and ways contained which can be used by the people
to do their society play in role. On the whole codes and ways in speak called
communication repertoire.”5
By the existence of communication repertoire above, some people have
choice in many kinds variety of language. People are usually selecting a particular
code whenever they choose to speak, and they also decide to switch one code or to
create a new code. There are two kinds of code. They are code-switching where
people can use two languages in conversation by turns that depends entirely on
the situation; and code-mixing where some people either use the elements from
one language in while they were spoken in one foreign language.
Gal in Wardhaugh said that code-switching as a conversational strategy
used to establish, cross or destroy group’s boundaries; to create, evoke or change interpersonal relations with their rights and obligation.6Code-switching also is the
consequence of bilingualism or multilingualism. For example: An English

bilingual switches from English to French, e.g. The hotel, il est grand, is really huge and unbelievable majestic.
Nowadays, the ability to use second language besides Indonesian as our
mother language has increased. In this case, many Indonesian people use two
languages or more in an utterance for any reasons and purposes. Code-switching
and code-mixing occur in a conversation between two people or more. Based on
this theme, the writer is interested in analyzing code-switching occurred in a live
conversation or talk show because of its spontaneity. The writer chose to analyze
code-switching and code-mixing in the conversation between Deddy Corbuzier,
Raline Shah, and Dewi Sandra in Hitam Putih talk show on Monday, November 18 2013, that discussed the actresses of99 Cahaya Di Langit Eropafilm.
The speakers inHitam Putih talk show are fluent in English. Raline Shah, aside from working as actress and presenter, has a degree in Political Science and
New Media & Communications from the National University of Singapore.
Therefore her English skill is unquestionable. Dewi Sandra, on the other hand,
was born to an English father and an Indonesian mother. Aside from learning
English from her family, as a performer, Dewi Sandra also learned English from
her career as a singer, presenter, model, and actress. Deddy Corbuzier also learned
English from his career. He began working as a professional magician in Dunia
Fantasi when he was twelve years old, and he has conducted tours to many
countries. For Raline Shah, Dewi Sandra, and Deddy Corbuzier, English is a
necessity to their career as performers. Therefore, it is not a surprise that English
B. Focus of the Research
In this research, the writer limits the discussion by focusing on
code-switching and code-mixing that appeared in the dialogues between Deddy
Corbuzier, Raline Shah, and Dewi Sandra in Hitam Putih talk show, and the factors that influence their utterance. Data resources are taken from the transcript
of the dialogues in the live talk show ofHitam Putihon November 18 2013.
C. Research Questions
Based on the background, there are some questions to be raised as the
problems of this analysis, they are:
1. What kinds of code-switching and code-mixing that are found in the
utterance of Deddy Corbuzier, Raline Shah, and Dewi Sandra in Hitam PutihTalk Show on November 18 2013?
2. What influences the use of code-switching and code-mixing in their
utterance?
D. Objectives of the Research
Related to the research question above, the research objectives can be
specified as follows:
1. To describe the kinds of code-switching and code-mixing found in the
utterance of Deddy Corbuzier, Dewi Sandra, and Raline Shah.
2. To describe what influences the code-switching in the utterance of
Deddy Corbuzier, Dewi Sandra, and Raline Shah.
E. Significance of the Research
1. Practically, this research is expected to provide valuable knowledge in
the development of sociolinguistics in general, particularly in the
research of code-switching.
2. Theoretically, this research can be a reference to sociolinguistics field
of the language.
F. Methodology of the Research 1. Method of the Research
The method that is used in this research is descriptive qualitative method.
Qualitative method is a research which relies on verbal data and non-numerical in
the same manner as the basic of analyze and creative problem solving of the
research.7
The writer records the conversations as many as possible, listens to all
conversations, transcribes the conversations, finds the switching and
code-mixing in the conversation, and analyzes the data using the code-switching theory
of Janet Holmes.
2. Data Analysis Technique
In this research, the writer uses qualitative data analysis technique. The
writer chooses and classifies the data into three categories, and the factors that
influence the usage of code-switching according to Janet Holmes.
7
3. Instrument of the Research
The writer uses himself as the instrument to collect the data. The process
of collecting the data in this research is divided into four steps, namely (a) the
writer watches the talk show program Hitam Putih and writes the script from utterances, (b) the writer chooses the code-switching and code-mixing in the
script, (c) the writer writes down the data into table, (d) the writer analyzes the
data to know what kind of code-switching and code-mixing and the factors that
influence the usage of code-switching and code-mixing.
4. Unit of Analysis
Unit analysis in this research is the transcript of the utterances between
Deddy Corbuzier as the host of Hitam Putih and the guests, Raline Shah and Dewi Sandra, in Hitam Putihtalk show with the discussion about the actresses of
CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
A. Bilingualism
According to Bloomfield, bilingual is someone who has a good
competence for both language and well to do it together.8 Einar Haugan says,
“Bilingualism is someone who has competency to use another language completely that is not their mother tongue.”9
Spolsky defines, “Bilingual is a person who has some functional ability in the second language. This may vary from a limited ability in one or more
domains, to very strong command of both languages called balanced
bilingualism.”10
Related to speech community, Hames and Blanc define, “Bilingualism is the state of a linguistic community in which two languages are in contact with the
result that two codes can be used in the same interaction and that a number of
individuals are bilingual.”11
Because that bilingual people usually use their own idioms for in-group
communication and the common language for their interaction and
communication with outsiders. In this case, Spolsky says, “The bilinguals have a repertoire of domain-related rules of language choice”,meaning that bilinguals are

able to choose which language he is going to use.12 In other words, since the
members of a bilingual community, they have to be able to set a condition where
they can communicate effectively. This condition leads them to do code-switching
and code-mixing.
B. Code-Switching and Code-Mixing
Code-switching and code-mixing are well-known traits in the speech
pattern of the average bilingual in any human society the world over. It is also one
of sociolinguistics problems that occur in bilingual community.13
Code-mixing and code-switching are terms in sociolinguistics for
language, and especially speech, that draws to differing extents on at least two
languages combined in different ways. A code may be a language or style of a
language. The term code-mixing emphasizes hybridization, and the term code-switching emphasizes movement from one language to another. Mixing and switching probably occur to some extent in the speech of all bilinguals, so that
there is a sense in which a person capable of using two languages.
There are a lot of definitions of code-switching. Chaer and Leonie
Agustina quoted Appel’s perceptionabout code-switching as the“phenomenon of language changingbecause of the change of the situation.”14

Rajen Mesthrie, Joan Swann, Andrea Deumert, and William L. Leap say
another definition about code-switching in their book, Introducing Sociolinguistics, “Code-switching may be associated with a series of unmarked choices when aspects of the context such as a change in topic or in the person
addressed make a different language variety more appropriate.”15
Code-switching is a linguistics term denoting the concurrent use of more
than one language, or language variety, in conversation. Multilingual, people who
speak more than one language, sometimes use elements of multiple languages in
conversing with each other. Thus, code-switching is the syntactically and
phonologically appropriate use of more than one linguistic variety.
The motivation for switching is basically stylistic and that code switching
is to be treated as a discourse phenomenon which cannot be satisfactorily handled
in terms of the internal structure of sentence.16
Hymes defines code-switching as ”a common term for alternative use of
two or more languages, varieties of a language or even speech styles”17, while Bokamba defines both concepts, “Code-switching is the mixing of words, phrases and sentence from two distinct grammatical (sub) systems across sentence
boundaries within the same speech event… code-switching is the embedding of various linguistic units such as affixes (bound morphemes), words (unbound
morphemes), phrases and clauses from a co-operative activity where the

17
participants, in order to infer what is intended, must reconcile what they hear with
what they understand.”18
According to Abdul Chaer in his book, Linguistik Umum, code-switching is going to happen because of the language differences between an individual and
the community where the speech takes place. Code-switching is the change of
language, or variety of language, because of specific reason.19
Code-switching differs from code-mixing. Code-switching is the point at
which the change of language corresponds to a point where the situation changes,
either on its own, or precisely because the language changes. There are other
cases, however, where a fluent bilingual who is talking to another fluent bilingual
suddenly changes language without any change at all in the situation. This kind of
alternation is called code-mixing.20
Code-mixing occurs when conversation uses both languages together to
the extent that they change from one language to the other in the course of a single
utterance.21 It means that the conversation just change topic and can involve
various level of language, such as morphology and lexical items, even grammar.
The purpose of code-mixing seems to symbolize ambiguous situation for
which neither language on its own would be quite right. To get the correct effect,
the speakers balance the two languages against each other as a kind of linguistic
cocktail, such a few words of one language, then a few words of the other, then

21
back to the first for a few more word and so on. The changes generally take place
more or less randomly as far as subject-matter is concerned, but they seem to be
limited by the structure of sentence.
Janet Holmes says, “code-mixing suggests the speaker is mixing up code indiscriminately or perhaps because of incompetence, whereas the switches are
very well-motivated in relation to the symbolic or social meaning of the two
codes.”22This kind of rapid switching itself is a specific sociolinguistic variety.
C. Types of Code Switching and Code Mixing
Based on Wardhaugh’s theory, code-switching is classified into three types. They are situational code-switching, metaphorical code-switching, and
conversational code-switching, which is called as intra-sentential code-switching
or code-mixing. Each type is related to each factor of code-switching namely
participant, solidarity (affective function), status, and topic.
The first type is situational code-switching. Situational code-switching is
related to the factors of code-switching that are participant, solidarity, and status.
Situational code-switching occurs when the language changes according to the
situation in which the conversation the speakers are engaged to. They speak one
language in one situation and in a different one.23
22
Holmes, Janet. An Introduction of Linguistic 2nd ed. England: Pearson Education Limited. 2001. p. 50.
23
The situation of code-switching happened because the switches between
languages always coincide with changes from one external situation, for example,
talking to member of the family, to another, for example, talking to neighbors.24
Situational code-switching describes about arrival of a new person and
status relation between people, or the formality of their interaction. For example, a
person switches from English to Maori to greet his or her friend. The Maori’s
greeting is an expression of solidarity, so a code-switching may be related to a
particular or addressee.25
Metaphorical code switching occurs within a single situational, but adds
meaning to such components as the role-relationship, which is being expressed.
According to Blom and Gumperz, which is quoted by Hudson,
metaphorical code switching is where the choice of language determines the
situation. Blom and Gumperz give an example from their research in a town in
Northern Norway, Hemnesberget, where there is a situation.“In the course of the morning spent at the community administration office. We notice that clerk used
both standard and dialect phrases, depending on whether they talking about
official affairs or not. Likewise, when residents step up to a clerk’s desk, greeting
and inquiries about family affairs tend to be exchanged in the dialect, while the
business part of the transaction iscarried on in standard.”26

25
Holmes, Janet. An Introduction of Linguistic 2nd ed. England: Pearson Education Limited. 2001. p. 41.
26
Example like this shows that speakers are able to manipulate the norms
that govern the use of varieties in just the same way as they can manipulate those
norms that govern the meanings of words by using them metaphorically.
Furthermore, Wardhaugh says metaphorical code-switching is a change of
topic requires a change in the language used we have. The interesting point here is
that some topics may be discussed in either codes, but the choice of code adds the
distinct flavor to what is said about the topic.27
According to Wardhaugh, intra-sentential code-switching, or conversation
code-switching, is the same as code-mixing. Wardhaugh states that conversational
code-switching is a switch of codes within a simple utterance without any
associated topic change.28
D. Factors Influencing Code-Switching and Code-Mixing
According to Holmes, there are four factors that may influence people to
switch code, they are:
1. Participants. The participants that use code-switching to his or her partners because they have certain will and goal. If a group of people are
talking in one language and a non-speaker enters, they will switch code or
topic or both. Viewing from the personality of the participant, there are
27
Wardhaugh, Ronald. An Introduction to Sociolinguistics 4th ed. Massachusetts: Blackwell Publisher. 2002. p. 103.
28
will and goal of code-switching, such as the speaker who wants to change
the situation without any information in time and space.29
We can see as an example by looking at conversation switch from
Spanish to English below:
A:“Well,I’m glad I met you. Okay?”
B: “Andele pues(very well), and do come again. Hmm?”
By using the Spanish tag, B signaled to A that he or she recognized the
relevance of their shared ethnic background to their future relationship.
The tag served a solidarity maker between two minority ethnic group
members whose previous conversation has been entirely in English.
2. Solidarity (affective function). A speaker may similarly switch to another language as a signal of group membership and shared ethnicity with an
addressee. Even speaker who is not very proficient in a second language
may use brief phrases and words for his purpose.30
We can see an example by looking at Maori and English conversation
below:
Sarah :“I think everyone’s here except Mere.”
John : “She said she might be a bit late but actually I
think that’s her arriving now.”
Sarah : “You’re right. Kia ora, Mere. Heare mai. Kei te pehea koe?(Hi, Mere. Come in. How are you?)”
29
Holmes, Janet. An Introduction of Linguistics 2nd ed. England: Pearson Education Limited. 2001. p. 42.
30Ibid,
Mere : “Kia ora hoa. Kei te pai. Have you started yet?(Hello, my friend. I’m fine).”
In the conversation above, code switching appears with English as the
main language and Maori is the second language. People sometimes
switch code within a domain or social situation. When there is some
obvious change in the situation, such us the arrival of a new person, it is
easy to explain the switch. Mere is Maori, and although the rest of the
meeting will be conducted in English, Sarah switches to Maori to greet
Mere.
3. Status. A switch may also reflect a change in the other dimensions, such as the status relationship between people or the formality of their interaction.
More formal relationship sometimes involves status difference too, such as
doctor-patient, administrator-client, or teacher-student. Friendly
relationship involves minimal social distance, such as neighbor or friend.31
Look at the Bokmal and Ranamal conversation below as an example:
(Ranamal is capitalized, Bokmal is not).
Jan :“Hello, Peter. How is your wife now?”
Peter : “Oh, she’s much better, thank you, Jan. She’s out
of hospital and convalescing well.”
Jan : “That’s good, I’m happy to hear it. DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HELP ME WITH PESKY
FORM? I AM HAVING A GREAT DIFFECULTY
WITH IT.”
Peter :“OF COURSE, GIVE IT TO ME.”
This conversation took place in somewhere of Hemnesberget, between
two neighbour, Jan and Peter. Nothing appears to change, except the topic
of discussion, and the code. In fact, the change of topic here symbolized a
change in the relationship between them. They switch from their roles as
neighbor to their roles as bureaucrat and member of public. They switch
from a personal interaction to a more formal transaction.32
4. Topic.According to Holmes, people may switch a speech event to discuss a particular topic. Bilingual often finds it easier to discuss particular topics
in one code rather than the other. For many bilinguals, certain kinds of
referential content are more appropriately or more easily expressed in one
language than the other. Look at the Chinese and English example below:
A group of Chinese students are discussing Chinese customs.
Li : “People here get divorce too easily. Like exchanging faulty goods. In Chinait’s not the same. Jia gou sui ji. (If you marry a dog, you follow a dog. If you marry a chicken, you follow a
chicken).”
32
This happens partly because the group of Chinese students have
learned the vocabulary of their studies in English, so they do not always
know the word like “morpheme” in Cantonese. In other words they have affective, as well as a referential function.33
Sometimes, code-switching seems the same as borrowing, but actually it is
quite different. Basically, linguists have made significant effort toward defining
the difference between borrowing (loan-word) and code switching.34Furthermore,
attempts to give some examples:
Adi : “Kemudian organisasi,kulo piyambak,Insya Allah sekitar
tiga puluh menit”.
The Javanese words, “kulo piyambak”, is an example of code-switching
because it is used to express politeness. Meanwhile, the example of borrowing is:
Damari: “Dan waktu laporan nanti itu amal shalih dipersiapkan data-data.”
In this case, “amal shalih” is classified as a borrowing, because the
speaker cannot find a particular word in the basic language that would fit the
intended meaning.35
However, following Myers-Scotton, Gardner-Chloros and Romaine argue
that every loan word starts off as a switch. Therefore, it is clear that historically
loan word is transmitted word that has been integrated with the recipient
language. While code-switching is spontaneously bounded by switching from
33

word or sentence of one language to another. Code-switching affects all level of
linguistic structure simultaneously.36

CHAPTER III RESEARCH FINDINGS
A. Data Description
In this chapter, the writer discusses the research findings. In the data
collection for the study, the writer follows five steps. First, the writer observes the
Talk Show program Hitam Putih by watching and recording it. Secondly, the writer watches again and takes notes of languages used by Deddy Corbuzier,
Raline Shah, and Dewi Sandra. Third, the writer chooses utterances that consist of
code. Fourth, the writer writes down the data. The final step is analyzing the data
based on the types and the factors of code-switching and code-mixing.
For this study, the writer analyzes twenty nine characters’ dialogues that
use code-switching or code-mixing. The writer focuses on the dialogues between
Deddy Corbuzier, Raline Shah, and Dewi Sandra because they switched and
mixed the code entirely. The analyzed dialogues are taken from Hitam PutihTalk Show that aired on November 18 2013 on Trans7 channel.

The writer uses Ronald Wardhaugh’s theory of types of code-switching, and identifies the code-switching as situational code-switching, metaphorical
code-switching, or conversational code-switching (code-mixing). The writer also
uses Janet Holmes’ criteria to differentiate which dialogues use code-switching or code-mixing, and identifies the factor influencing the switch or the mix, such as
participant, status, solidarity, and topic.
B. Data Analysis
Having been mentioned in the previous chapter, the purpose of the study is
to find out the type of code-switching and code-mixing, and the factors that
influence them based on the related theories.
In determining the types and the influencing factors, the writer pays
attention to the context of the conversation that involves Deddy Corbuzier as the
host ofHitam Putihand the guests, Raline Shah and Dewi Sandra.
1. Deddy Corbuzier: “Nah, biasanya kalau bertanya pada orang yang dikenal itu agak susah, tapi bisakah bertanya dan
mereka bisa jujur apa tidak mejawab pertanyaan
that’s a Question of Life. Raline Shah, dan Dewi
Sandra.”
In the beginning of the show Deddy uses Indonesian to explain the change
of the show’s airing time to the audience. Then, he uses both Indonesian and English to introduce the next segment, ‘Question of Life’.
a stranger to ask questions to another stranger in Indonesian. Then Deddy talks
about the name of the next segment, which is ‘Question of Life’, in English. Conversational code-switching, or code-mixing, means that there is a switching of
code in a single utterance. In Deddy’s utterance, he switches from Indonesian to
English. Therefore, it can be said that he mixes Indonesian with English. The
factor of this type of code-mixing is Topic, because Deddy changes the topic from
talking about how difficult it is to ask questions to stranger to introducing the
name of the next segment.
2. Raline Shah : (comes in and kisses Deddy’s cheeks) “Hi, how are you?”
Deddy Corbuzier: (kisses Raline’s cheeks) “Hi.”
After introducing the next segment Deddy calls for two guests, Raline
Shah and Dewi Sandra. When both guests come in, Raline greets Deddy in
English. She uses English to him as she already knows he understands and speaks
English. She does not mind the audience who may not understand English, as her
greeting is meant for Deddy only. This type of utterance is metaphorical
code-switching with Participant factor.
Metaphorical code-switching means that the change of code creates a new
situation. With Raline greeting Deddy in English, she creates a situation of
greeting. The Participant factor means that Raline uses English to address Deddy,
Deddy, knowing that Raline greets him in English, switches from
Indonesian to English. This is metaphorical code-switching with Solidarity factor.
The Solidarity factor is because Deddy switches from Indonesian to English as
Raline greets him in English. He could reply in Indonesian, but he acknowledges
Raline’s ability of speaking English, so he uses English as well.
3. Raline Shah : (sits across Dewi and points at her) “Am I to being you?”
Deddy Corbuzier: “Yes, that’s the idea. Tadi mana pertanyaannya?
Raline asks a question to Dewi in English. However, Deddy answers it,
although it is not meant for him. This type of utterance is situational
code-switching with Status factor. Situational code-code-switching means that the situation
causes the change of code. Raline asks a question to Dewi in English, and Deddy
answers it in English too. The Status factor is because Deddy answers Raline’s
question to clarify as he is the host of the show, while Raline and Dewi are the
guests.
After answering Raline’s question in English, Deddy switches to
Indonesian and asks the crew about the whereabouts of the questionnaire. This is
also situational code-switching with Topic factor, as Deddy switches from
answering Raline’s question to asking the crew about the questionnaire.
4. Deddy Corbuzier: “Kayak dia pernah kangen aja sama suami.”
Raline Shah : “Tiap detik!”
Raline Shah : “Serius.”
Deddy Corbuzier: “Oh ya?”
Dewi Sandra : “Hey, I’m a good wife, man. I’m a good wife!”
Deddy and Raline talk about what Dewi usually does when she misses her
husband. Dewi then jokingly exclaims in English that she is a good wife.
Although Deddy and Raline use Indonesian, Dewi uses English as she knows both
of them understand it, and she feels comfortable to use English. This type of
utterance is metaphorical code-switching with Solidarity factor. It is metaphorical
code-switching because Dewi creates a new situation by switching code. The
Solidarity factor is because Dewi uses English to Raline and Deddy, whom she
knows they understand English as well.
By exclaiming in English, Dewi also changes the topic. From Deddy and
Raline who talk about Dewi in Indonesian, to Dewi who exclaims that she is a
good wife in English. Therefore, this type of utterance is also metaphorical
code-switching with Topic factor.
5. Raline Shah : “Butuh berapa lama buat styling samamake-up tiap hari?”
Raline asks Dewi a question with a mix of two English words, ‘styling’ and ‘make-up’.Both words have no meaning if translated to Indonesian, and Dewi might not understand what Raline means if she decides to translate them to
Dewi understands what she means. This type of utterance is conversational
code-switching, or code-mixing, with Solidarity factor.
It is code-mixing because Raline mixes two English words in her
Indonesian utterance. She could use the Indonesian translation of those words, but
they would mean differently, so she does not use them. The Solidarity factor is
because Raline knows Dewi understands the words ‘styling’ and ‘make-up’.
6. Dewi Sandra : “Uhm…Five minutes. Lima menit.”
Raline Shah : “No way!”
Dewi Sandra : “Lima menit.”
Raline Shah : “Really?”
Dewi Sandra : “Yeah.”
Raline Shah : “Oh, okay. Impressed.”
Dewi and Raline have conversations with themselves. Although there are
Deddy and the audience in the studio, they use both English and Indonesian. They
feel comfortable to converse with both codes since they understand them. They do
not mind if Deddy or the audience does not speak or understand English. This
type of utterance is metaphorical code-switching with Participant factor, because
Dewi and Raline create a new situation by switching code. The Participant factor
is because Dewi switches from Indonesian to English to respect Raline’s remarks
in English.
feels about her answer. This is also metaphorical code-switching, but with Topic
factor. It is still a part of metaphorical code-switching, which means Raline and
Dewi create a new situation that separates them from Deddy and the audience.
The Topic factor is because there is a change in the topic, from talking about how
long Dewi does her make-up to Raline’s feeling about the answer.
7. Raline Shah : “Your best friend?”
Dewi Sandra : “My best friend is Agus.”
Raline Shah : “Okay.Aduh, suaminya, romantis banget sih.”
Raline asks Dewi a question in English, which Dewi replies in English too.
They feel more comfortable in using English. After Dewi answers the question,
Raline switches to Indonesian to talk to Deddy and the audience. She knows
Deddy understands English, but the audience might not, therefore she switches to
Indonesian so they all can understand. This is a situational code-switching with
Solidarity factor. Situational code-switching means the situation causes the
change of code. Raline realizes the situation is a live talk show, not a two-way
conversation, so she switches code immediately. The Solidarity factor is because
Raline switches from English to Indonesian, knowing that the audience may not
understand their conversation in English.
After Raline accepts Dewi’s answer that Agus is her best friend, she
Topic factor, because Raline switches from one topic to another and also switches
from one code in explaining one topic and another code to explain the other topic.
8. Raline Shah : “Apa rahasia mbak untuk terushappy?”
Dewi Sandra : “Dijawabin sama Deddy. Nasibnya sama
soalnya, cuma saya sudah berlanjut, dia masih
stay in position.”
Deddy Corbuzier: “Saya stuck.”
Dewi Sandra : “Yes, stuck. Stuck-nut.”
Deddy Corbuzier: “Iya, sayastuck.”
Although there is an audience in the studio, Raline, Deddy, and Dewi are
conversing together using both Indonesian and English. They are the only ones
who understand the topic of the conversation. This is a conversational
code-switching, or code-mixing with Participant factor. It is code-mixing because of the
use of Indonesian and English in an utterance. The Participant factor is because
Raline, Deddy, and Dewi become the participants of their conversation and do not
invite the audience to join them.

conversation. This is also conversational code-switching, or code-mixing, with
Solidarity factor. The Solidarity factor is because Dewi and Deddy use English
9. Raline Shah : “Apa yang menjadi insiprasi fashion mbak?
‘Cause I think you’re very fashionable, so…”
Raline uses Indonesian to ask a question to Dewi about her inspiration in
fashion. She comments in English that Dewi is very fashionable. She does this
because she knows Dewi understands English, and she feels more comfortable to
express herself in English. This is metaphorical code-switching with Solidarity
factor. It is metaphorical code-switching because Raline creates a new situation by
switching from Indonesian to English. At first, it is a question, then she changes
the situation to a personal remark. The Solidarity factor is because Raline uses
English in her remark, knowing that Dewi understands it.

asking question to expressing her opinion. Therefore, this is also metaphorical
code-switching with Topic factor.

English. Then, she speaks Indonesian to the audience, asking for their agreement
towards her opinion that Raline is also beautiful. She then switches back to
English when telling Raline how she loves her fashion sense. This is metaphorical
code-switching with Solidarity factor. The metaphorical code-switching is
because Dewi makes a new situation by switching to Indonesian. She asks the
audience to agree that Raline is beautiful. The Solidarity factor is because Dewi
talks in English to Raline, since she knows Raline understands English, and she
talks in Indonesian to the audience, since she knows the audience may not
understand English as well as Raline does.
In her utterance, after ending her previous statement with ‘Basically that’s it’, Dewi asks the audience for their opinion of Raline’s beauty, and then she pays compliment to Raline’s fashion sense. This is also metaphorical code-switching, but with Topic factor, because there is a change in topic.

Dewi who suddenly responds to Raline in English and switches to Indonesian to
explain Raline’s answer. The Solidarity factor is because Raline and Dewi feel
comfortable to express themselves in English, although the question is in
Indonesian. They know Deddy understands English as well.

the set of shooting. This is also situational code-switching, but with Topic factor,

because Raline uses English to Deddy, but prefers to use Indonesian when asking
for clarification from Dewi.

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
The result of analysis shows that there are twenty nine cases of
code-switching and code-mixing in the conversations. From the cases, the writer finds
the host of Hitam Putih Talk Show, Deddy Corbuzier, and the guests of the show,
Raline Shah and Dewi Sandra, use fifteen code-switching based on factors of five
Participant, eleven Solidarity, one Status, and twelve Topic. Seven of the
code-switching are situational code-code-switching, and eight of them are metaphorical
switching. They also use fourteen conversational switching, or
code-mixing, based on factors of one Participant, ten Solidarity, two Status, and five
Topic.
The type usually used by Deddy Corbuzier, Raline Shah, and Dewi Sandra
is metaphorical code-switching. They prefer to communicate in both codes. For
them, it does not matter whether the audience understands them or not. What
matters is they can communicate easily and comfortably.
The most frequently used factor of code-switching is solidarity. It comes
because when the host or the guests switch to English, the others follow by
switching to the same code. When they are talking to the audience, they switch to
Indonesian, knowing that the audience may not have the same understanding of
