the media also adapts the style in presenting the news. In this case the language is
mixed up in its usage. The mixture of language is often called code mixing or code
switching. In this study, the research only limits to code mixing, that means the use of
two or more language in one utterance. By understanding the reason and the factor that
motivate the use of code mixing the writer wants to know the reason why code mixing
is used frequently in the magazine, which represent the speaking style of the modern
people. The magazine that becomes the source of data for this research is FHM (For
Him Magazine) and the data is only limited to dialog articles from a local celebrity of
famous person containing code mixing. The main theory used in this study is theory
from Janet Holmes and there are also some other supporting theories about code
mixing, and semantic. In this research the main problem is about code mixing, but the
writer needs to add point of view from semantic in order to help to understand about
the context easier. The data will be classified by the writer into some tables so the way
to understand about each context is easier. For the conclusion, the writer found out
that most of the reasons and factors are because the speakers feel that the Indonesian
word cannot capture the precise idea of the speaker. This may be due to the effect of
modern society in which new information is mostly in foreign language. From the
finding, the writer can conclude that code mixing has become part of modern lifestyle
which is one of the characteristics of modern society.
