Library's collection Library's IT development CancelKachru (1978) proposes that code-mixing is the use of one or two
languages which has constant linguistic transfer from one to another language by
a speaker. As linguistic function, code-mixing usually appears when the speaker
mixes up the language he/she usually uses with another language. In proving his
idea, the writer of this study wants to reveal how the code-mixing appears in daily
conversation. In this case, the novel "30 Hari Mencari Cinta" has been chosen to
become source of the data. In this novel, such code-mixing appears both in the
language of narration and the characters? conversation mostly in informal ways. In
the language of narration, for one thing, there can be found distinct codes and
types of code-mixing as what Kachru states. In the characters? conversation, such
distinct codes and types of code-mixing can also be found. In dealing with the
social situation, Fishman (1971) states that social situation is constructed when
individuals interact in appropriate role-relationships with each other, in the
appropriate locales for these role-relationships, and discuss topics appropriate to
their role-relationships. This is clear enough since in each conversation, those
three terms can be found either in formal or informal language. The social
situation in the novel is varied depending on how close the relationship among
characters is, and it helps the writer of the novel express how the situation of the
characters in various ways. In this case, the social situation makes the story in the
novel more varied.
