1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of Study

Language has an important part in human life because it is a means of communication. People need to communicate with others. Language is a mediator used by people to transfer what they have in their mind to others. They use language to avoid misunderstanding and miscommunication. Wardhaugh states that sometimes a society may be plurilingual; that is, many speakers may use more than one language (1986: 1). It means when people use more than one language, communication among people is a free expression as long as they can understand what the message is.

In bilingual and multilingual societies people may produce certain codes. They may use code mixing or code switching in their conversation. Thelender (In Suwito, 1985: 76) differentiates code switching and code mixing. If an utterance is switched from one language to another language supporting a distinctive function, it is called code switching. Conversely, if an utterance, consist of a clause or phrase does not support a distinctive function it is called code mixing.

Code is a term for any variety of language, usually stressing on the linguistic rules that underpin the variety, (Mesthrie, 2000). When people involve in a system of communication, they employ a code. Code will be something we may want to call a language, which is accessed by the speaker. According to Hammers and Blanc, code mixing is actually communication strategies of speaker. They say code mixing is a

communication strategy used by a bilingual in which the speaker of language x

transfer elements of language y to x (Hammers and Blanc,1989: 266).

Code mixing is a phenomenon in which two or more different languages are mixed in the same time. In a community where there are more than one language used, mixing between two or more languages in an utterance is a common phenomenon. In other word, bilingual individuals often mix two different languages or code since they always have alternatives to choose the language they want to use. There are many factors influencing people to change or mix the language. Wardhaugh (1986: 103) states that code mixing use of two languages together in the conversations to extent that change from one language to other in the course of a single utterance.

Code mixing is influenced by many factors, and one of them is printed media such as, newspaper, tabloid, and magazine. However, magazine is the most favorite printed media among young people. People use magazine to search the new information that is developing in politic, fashion, issue, lifestyle, celebrities, etc. Magazine is really helpful in developing code mixing in society. Magazine is a periodical containing a collection of articles, stories, pictures, or other features. Usually, magazine is published every week or once in a month. Wilcox states that magazine is a printed media published every week, every month or quarter with the publication that show the depth of the subject than a newspaper (2005: 246). Magazine usually has such article about popular topics that are addressed to individual society. The written language used in magazine is made specifically to make the readers easier to understand the contents of the magazine.
