Problem of Study Aims of the study

1.4. Scope of Discussion

To avoid the enlargement and to limit the problem in the analysis, the discussion on this study focused on: 1. The types of code switching that are used in the short story At the Cadian Ball by Kate Chopin 2. The reasons of code switching that are used in the short story At the Cadian Ball by Kate Chopin

1.5 Research Method

Research is systematic process to analyze the data. It is not only done with a systematic process but must do with scientific methods. In doing this research, there should be three steps that were passed, they are: data source, method and technique of collecting data, and method and technique of analyzing data.

1.5.1 Data source

The data of this study was taken from the short story At the Cadian Ball by Kate Chopin. At the Cadian Ball tells about two couples there are Bobinot and Calixta, and Alcee Laballiere and Clarisse. This short story was chosen as the data source because it almost represented the phenomenon of code switching in English – French. The data in this study is primary data because the data collected directly from the short story.

1.5.2 Method and Technique of Collecting Data

Method and technique of collecting data has an important role in collecting the data. The data of this study was collected by reading intensively the short story and note down all information that related to the topic of discussion. The method used in collecting data for this study is documentation method. This method is a way of collecting data that is taken from notes, transcription, books, magazines, and internet. The process of collecting the data was divided into several steps. First, the data was collected manually by reading the data source thoroughly and then note-taking the narrations and conversations that contains code switching related to the problems. Finally, the data which is categorized as code switching, were classified into types and reasons of code switching.

1.5.3 Method and Technique of Analysis Data

After all the data were collected, the analysis of the data can be done. The analysis of the data used the descriptive method, in which each data will be presented and explained based on theory which will be adopted. For the types code switching,
