CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter provides the review of related literature. There are two sections in this chapter which are theoretical description and theoretical framework. Theoretical description explains the relevant theories used in this research. Theoretical framework summarizes and synthesizes all theories which help the researcher in conducting the research to answer the research questions.

A. Theoretical Description

In this section, before we go further to code switching, there are some terms in which should be discussed in order to know more on the phenomenon of code switching. Code switching is believed as the result of bilingual and multilingual societies. In bilingual and multilingual societies, people have the ability to understand and speak more than one or two languages. Therefore, the first thing which will be discussed is bilingual and multilingual, followed by code switching, a brief description about Antologi Rasa and Keara, types of code switching, and the last one is speech functions of code switching.
