involved an in-depth exploration of the object being studied. That was why it was appropriate and necessary not only to identify the types of code-switching but also
analyze the possible reasons for code-switching on Bukan Empat Mata.
B. Research Subject
The subject of this study was a television show called Bukan Empat Mata. It was a talk show hosted by Thukul “Reynaldi” Arwana and broadcasted by
Trans 7 television, from Monday to Friday from 10.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m. The object of the research was the code-switching often utilized by Thukul in his
dialogues with the guest stars. The researcher decided to take three episodes to get adequate date and consider the time efficiency. The researcher took 3 episodes
entitled “Ungu”, “Stress” and “Mertua vs Menantu”. These episodes ranged from 2 November to 4 November of 2009.
1. Ungu This episode aired on November 2, 2009. The guests of this episode were
Ungu band, Rosa, and Imelda Therine and Ayimfood stall owner in Kemang. The topic they discussed was about Ungu career, Rosa career and Imelda career.
They told how they started their career until they succeed. 2. Stress
This episode aired on November 3, 2009. The guests were Astrid, Sheila on 7, Karenina, Laura Basuki and Niam Muis a man who concerned on laughing
therapy. The topic they discussed was how to deal with stress.
3. Mertua Vs Menantu This episode aired on November 3, 2009. The guests were Laudya
Cynthia Bella, Ami Qanita, Andrew White, Jamal Mirdad, and RAN. The topic they discussed was the relationship between parents in law and a son or a daughter
in law.
C. Research Instruments
In this research, the researcher used qualitative research. Lofland in Moleong 2005: 157 stated that the main data sources in qualitative research were
words, action, and also supported documents. Moleong 2005:157 says that in qualitative research, the main instrument
was the researcher; therefore the main instrument of this research was the researcher himself. Moleong 2005: 158 stated also that in the qualitative
research, the writer played the role as the designer, the data collector, the analyst, the data interpreter, and eventually the reporter of the research findings. In this
research, the researcher collected the data, in the form of utterances and action by recording the show. Supported documents included written data, video and audio
tapes, pictures, and also film taking. The example of the means to obtain data was shown below.
