JC talks about the bathroom and the hidden camera. He does not know the
similar word of hidden camera. Fanny responds that what he means is “kamera tersembunyi”
. JC can’t pronounce it very well thus he says kamera tersemburi
which actually he means the same meaning.
From appendix 8 as quoted in example 94, Fanny as a woman will do the same as the artists do; complaining to the hidden camera maker and put the doer in the jail if
she will be in that situation. In another word, she will go insane. 94 J : How would you feel if you are filmed? T.138
F : Uhuh. NV5 J : How would you feel if that were you give us a call at 39833888.
T.140 F: Uhuh, well … you know what, JC? I would go insane you know?
T.141 J : Ya. T.142
F :Right, I mean that’s not m … apa ya? laugh … RIGHT, I MEAN THAT’S NOT M … WHAT DO YOU CALLED?.
T.143
J :Go ahead saying bahasa if you want … GO AHEAD SAYING INDONESIAN IF YOU WANT … .
T.144 JC wonders to know someone’s feeling if she is filmed at the telephone line at
39833888. Fanny comments that she can be insane if it will be happened to her. Since she can’t continue her idea about that issue, Fanny tries to remember what she needs to
say thus she uses Bahasa Indonesia ‘apa ya’ as same as ‘something’ or ‘what is it’. JC
agrees if she will use Bahasa Indonesia when it will be difficult for her to say something in English.
94 The description from those examples 1-94 in page 38-91 is shown how code
switching occurs in Uncle JC Happy Hour. It is clear that most of the times; JC is the main trigger even sometimes Fanny, Lily or other callers are. Most of all, the languages
which are used when subjects are switching codes also convinced that the program has a multilingual community.
