CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. The Background of the Study

Language is a human system of communication that uses arbitrary signals,
such as voice sounds, gestures, or written symbols. Language also is behaviour
which utilizes body parts: the vocal apparatus and the auditory system for oral
language; the brachial apparatus and the visual system for sign and language body
parts are controlled by none other than the brain for their functions. In daily life,
people never separated from language. Language is the most important aspect in
the life of all beings. When we listen a song, watching the television, read the
book and talking to another people, that is when we enjoy the language. We use
language to express inner thoughts and emotions, make sense of complex and
abstract thought, to learn to communicate with others, to fulfill our wants and
needs, as well as to establish rules and maintain our culture.
There are so many languages in this world and at least people have one
language that we know as mother tongue. The differences of ethnic, region,
background and even differences country of people caused the variety of the
language itself. In interaction, we will find people who can speak two languages
that we call as bilingualism even more than two languages that we call as
multilingualism, because there will be society in one certain community want to
have relation among others by different language.
Nowadays, people always mix their language especially English. It is
unavoidable in this globalization era the fast developing of technology, social and


economic goals of individual in society that are very important in accounting for
speed of language. Rapid shift occurs when people are worried to get on in a
society where knowledge of second language is a prerequisite for success. People
around the world should know English since it has been generally as one major
language of the world and as the international language. Many books, newspaper,
magazine, television program, movie and radio, and other source of information
are written or spoken in English.
It has been noticed that the shift to another language may be led by woman
and man depending on jobs offered. The mixing language also phenomenon in
Radio. Started by the coming of foreigners who use English in their
communication, Indonesian people were initiated to use English and then to
spread it out to the others. Therefore, Indonesian Radio Program also been
influenced by English. If we see the program or talk show, we will hear the
presenters mix their language between Indonesia-English.
The writer chose this topic because Indonesian especially young
generations have low knowledge about English. Learning English in differences
way like music, fashion and entertaiment will make people more interested and
curious to practice English. VISI FM is one of the radio stations in Medan. VISI
FM start to air in November 2001. VISI FM had been trendsetter among youth or

Broadcasting Car(OB VAN) and that is first broadcasting and that only one that
make Outdoor Broadcasting Van in Medan. Usually, the presenters of VISI FM

usually mix their language with English. VISI FM’s presenter usually discuss
about fashion, music, life style and more information abouthot new that happend
around us. The listeners of VISI FM are youth and teens from fifteen to twenty
five years old and are dynamic, innovative, creative, and always follow the
developing in this world. Those matters influence the way the presenters speak.
Besides using Indonesian, her ability in using English and trend terminologies as
language style, this is the reason why the presenter often does code-mixing
spontaneously.
