Library's collection Library's IT development CancelPeople always use language to communicate with other people. The fact is
that people also sometimes mix two or more codes when they are communicating
(Nababan, 1979, p.209). The code mixing itself can take place as a Noun, verb,
Adjective, and Adverb, which refer as word classes. To follow, "Bintang Berpijar
di Langit Majapahit" is a novel that, based on the writer?s observation, contains
code mixing. Therefore, the writer is interested to conduct a study as to find out
the code mixing, the use of code in the code mixing, the word classes that the
code mixing belong to, and the frequencies of the word classes. The data of this
study were taken from The Historical Fiction ?Bintang Berpijar di Langit
Majapahit? by Tasaro. In this study, the writer focuses on code mixing produced
by the six (6) major characters in this Novel. They are Hui Sing (main character),
Cheng Ho (Admiral), Juen Sui (Cheng Ho?s pupil), Sien Feng (Cheng Ho?s
pupil), Respati (Majapahit?s commander), and Anindita (Respati?s wife). Based
on the findings, the writer can conclude that there are 39 utterances containing
code mixing produced by the six main characters. Also, there are more than two
codes in the code mixing: Indonesian, Chinese, and Javanese codes. Furthermore,
there are only three elements of word classes used in the code mixing: Noun,
Verb, and Adverb (Locative adverb). Finally, it can also be concluded that Noun
has got the highest percentage, with 29 times occurrences, 78.38%. The next were
verb (10.81%) and adverb (10.81%). The lowest is adjective, because there was
no adjective used in the code mixing in this novel.
