33 where another jury, Arnold Poernomo, encouraged the finalists to do their best.
Every single word they used in the sentence was in English.
2. Intra-sentential Code-switching Found in MasterChef Indonesia
Season 3 Grand Final
Intra-sentential code-switch occurs when the switch happens within a single sentence. Poplack 1980 puts forward the view that intra-sentential code-
switching involves, arguably, the greatest syntactic risk, and may be avoided by all but the most fluent bilinguals. However, this type of code-switching occurs
repeatedly during the first round of Grand Final MasterChef Indonesia Season 3. The first example of the occurrences was taken when the juries tasted and
commented on the dishes made by William and Brian. After the time was up, the juries judged the dishes based on the taste and the appearance of the dish. The
following is the conversation between the juries about the taste of Brian’s dish.
1 Degan
: Oke, let’s go to the next. Marinka : Sup tomatnya lumayan enak ya, lumayan sesuai dengan yang
saya predict. Cuma timbalenya ini kurang kerasa.
Degan : Ini masih kurang seasoning aja.
Arnold : Yuk kita coba yang ini.
The second example of intra-sentential code-switching was taken when Arnold Poernomo reminded the contestants to start plating. One of the rules in the
MasterChef Indonesia is that any components which are not in the plate when the time is up will not be counted in the judgement. Therefore, around 15 minutes
before the time was up, Arnold Poernomo reminded the finalists to start the
plating since they had three dishes that needed to be served perfectly.

: Brian, William, waktu kalian tinggal lima belas menit.
Saatnya untuk plating ya.
… Brian
: Lima belas menit terakhir aku sudah mulai memplating dishnyaChef Marinka dan mulai mencicil platingan
dari dishnya Chef Arnold. Untuk Chef Degan mulai motong fresh scallopnya dan mulai aku plating.
Intra-sentential code-switching can easily be seen in Marink a’s and
Degan’s utterances in 1. In each of them, they only used one English word in each sentence which was basically conducted in Indonesian. This also happens in
2 where Arnold reminded the finalists about plating time. Brian, one of the finalists, also code-switched when he described his progress in the last fifteen
minutes of the competition. The phenomenon of mixing one language with other language within a sentence is the indicator of intra-sentential code-switching.
The English words found in the code-switching occurrence type intra- sentential were in form of content words, namely noun, adjective, verb and
adverb. The following are the examples of the English word used in the code- switching based on their part of speech:
1 Noun
In the beginning of the competition, the three juries demonstrated how to make their signature dish which needed to be duplicated by the finalists as the first
challenge of the Grand Final. The following is the explanation from Arnold
Poernomo when he demonstrated his dish, Lobster Three Ways.
1 Arnold : Look Look at it. All the juice ya. Jus dari lobsternya
keluarin. Kita sauté lagi. Arnold
: Ini kita bikin condiment buat saladnya ya.
The example above clearly shows the phenomena of code-switching by
Arnold Poernomo. In his line “Ini kita bikin condimentbuat saladnya”, he code-
