b. A switch can occur when someone is quoting somebody else
Hoffmann 1991: 116 states that “Switching typically occurs when the subject is quoting somebody else.” Sometimes, the writers of Pulsa tabloid
needed to write the information from the informant exactly the same. It meant that in writing the information, the writers of Pulsa tabloid had to write it with the
quotation marks. In the feature article of Pulsa tabloid edition 163, the researcher discovered that there were 17 occurrences for this reason. To have a clear
illustration on this reason, the researcher provided five examples that were taken from the feature article of Pulsa tabloid edition 163.

“Selain itu, di bawah ‘active idle’, masih tersedia empat buah ‘shortcut’ yang
dapat diatur sesuai dengan keinginan anda.” 2009: 8 2
“Seperti fitur ‘calendar’ yang tampil lebih indah dan lengkap dengan
penambahan beberapa kolom catatan.” 2009: 9 3
“Bila anda menginginkan keamanan, pada menu ‘encryption’ rubah dari ‘none’ menjadi ‘yes’.” 2009: 38

“Masuk ke menu ‘messaging’ lalu ‘options’ lalu ‘settings’ lalu ‘email’ lalu ‘mailboxes’.” 2009: 39
5
“Caranya, masuk ke ‘message’ lalu ‘new message’ lalu ‘email’.”2009: 39
c. A switch can occur when it is used to express group identity and solidarity
Hoffmann 1991: 116 states that “Code-switching is also used to express group identity and solidarity.” In the feature article of Pulsa tabloid edition 163,
the researcher found that there were 314 occurrences on this reason. This reason

had the biggest number compared to the other two reasons. The researcher took a conclusion that the writers of Pulsa tabloid wanted to build a good relation with
the readers. By having a good relation with the readers, Pulsa tabloid could have many customers. One of the ways in doing so was by modifying the language. To
have a clear illustration of this reason, the researcher provided five examples that were taken from the feature article of Pulsa tabloid edition 163.

“Namun, beberapa fitur entertain semisal kamera serta layanan sinkronisasi
masih terlihat setengah hati dalam beroperasi.” 2009: 5 2
“Anda bisa melihatnya dari hasil foto outdoor dan indoor.” 2009: 6
3 “Jadi bila ingin menjadikan ponsel ini sebagai media pemutar video, anda
membutuhkan software konverter lainnya yang banyak tersedia di pasaran.”
2009: 8 4
“Beberapa hal yang harus dilakoni dalam game ini antara lain mencari
pekerjaan, memasak makanan dan berteman.” 2009: 41 5
“Selain itu, anda juga bisa meng-upload foto tanpa bantuan PC maupun
aplikasi upload foto pihak ketiga.” 2009:11
From the above examples, it showed that the writers were doing their best to attract the readers’ attention. For the first example, instead of using hiburan, the
writer was using entertain. The researcher concluded that the writers of Pulsa tabloid used English words in order to impress the readers and this was done by
modifying the language. The same things also happened in the rest of the examples. The writer preferred to use English to Bahasa Indonesia even though
there were the exact words in Bahasa Indonesia. The researcher discovered that

the juxtaposition between English and Bahasa Indonesia in the feature article of Pulsa
tabloid edition 163 made the articles look impressive in terms of the language used in writing the articles.
In conclusion, there were three possible reasons existed in the feature article of Pulsa tabloid edition 163 based on the theory suggested by Hoffmann
1991. They were: 1 a particular topic that triggers to the use of code-switching, 2 quoting somebody else, and 3 the use of code-switching to express group
identity and solidarity.
