In this thesis, the design of this research is descriptive qualitative research. Based on the five characteristics of qualitative research as proposed by Bodgan
and Bilken, this research will use the nature of the situation as it exists at the time of the collecting data and will be collected in words form.
The systematic procedures in conducting the analysis are as follows: a.
The location of the research b.
The technique of collecting data population and sample c.
Identifying the words or sentences in the conversation which belong to code switching and code mixing.
d. Classifying and analyzing the types of code switching and the
forms of code mixing. e.
Calculating each type of code switching and code mixing and determining the most dominant type.
f. Drawing some conclusions based on the result of analysis.
Galser and Strauss in Moleong, 2006:22 states that in many cases, both forms of methods are needed, not quantitative test qualitative, but both forms are
used together and, when compared, each of which can be used to formulate the theory.
And also this research was conducted by using library research in which a number of books about linguistics, sociolinguistics, and code choice. Nawawi
1993:30 states that library research is carried out by accumulating all the data from various literatures either in library or in other places.
3.1 Data and Data Source
To complete this research, the writer needs data, the data is a conversation between people in social media Facebook. Data take from group in facebook
named Indonesia Marvel Universe Collectors. There are 346 members in this group. The data obtained from comments in 20 posts that contain conversation
between members in December 2013.

3.2 Data Collection Procedures
The data of this research were gathered by using observation method with recording techniques. More than 30 posts by members in group Indonesia Marvel
Universe Collectors during December 2013 but the writer only selects 20 posts that contain code mixing process in their conversation.
Writing all utterances of the conversation and analyzing the code mixing based on the conversation between members in Facebook online shop Indonesia
Marvel Universe Collectors.
3.3 Step of the Research
After collecting all the data were needed for the continuity of the research, some steps were taken as the following:
a. Transcribing all the utterances of all conversation between members in
Indonesia Marvel Universe Collectors. b.
Identifying the words which belong to code mixing found in the conversation.
c. Classifying the code mixing in all conversation based on the components
of language. d.
Calculating types of code mixing used by members of Facebook online shop Indonesia Marvel Universe Collectors and determining the most
dominant types of code mixing they used. e.
Converting to percentages by using a formula. f.
Drawing calculations based on the results of analysis to obtain the most frequent type of code mixing used by members Indonesia Marvel Universe
Collectors, the writer chooses distribution frequency in calculating the data. Bungin 2005:171-172 states that calculating data with distributive
frequency is calculating the frequency is percentaged. This is the formula.

n = FxN x 100
Where: n
: total frequency of code mixing in percent Fx
: total code mixing frequency of the sub categories 100 : standard percentage
N : total all code mixing of categories
g. Analyzing the reasons of the speakers used code mixing in the
