cases onto the first observation form had done. Therefore, in the range of the date of data collection, the code switching cases found in targeted users were organized
in the observation form, which could be seen in Appendix 1 and Appendix 3. There were many evidences that many Facebook users employed code
switching in their Facebook pages. It could define that they used the language phenomenon prominently. The code switching cases within Facebook mostly
occur within sentences intrasentential switch and only few of them occurred between sentences. Subsequently, those code switching cases were listed in the
observation form by writing them in the contextual utterances and not merely the switched and juxtaposed language elements. Yet, there were some difficulties
arose concerning the utterances made by Facebook users since they shortened some utterances they wrote, but it would not give any distraction to the research
because the researcher could understand what they uttered about. The column of the date of data collected and the name of Facebook users were also accomodated
as well the evidences column. It was important because it could be valid evidence of the existence of code switching within a social networking website Facebook.
2. Peruse the Data
This second step was conducted after the researcher collected the data of code switching cases from Facebook users’ pages and organized them into an
observation form. Through this step, the researcher read each of code switching cases thoroughly and carefully. It was important because the act of perusing the
data would lead into the better comprehension of the analysis. From the data, the researcher found that there were three types of code switching occurred within
Facebook users’ pages. The three types and the examples of code switching from Facebook users’ pages were as follows:
a. Intersentential switch; the switch made by interlocutors Facebook users
occurs between sentences. E.g: 1
