CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter discusses the result of the research procedure in attempt to answer the two research questions presented in the first chapter. They are: 1
What are the type distributions of code-switching occurred in the first round of Grand Final MasterChef Indonesia Season 3? 2 What are the reasons of the code
switchings done by the juries of Grand Final MasterChef Indonesia Season 3 during the first round? Other findings discovered by the researcher are also
presented within this chapter.
A. The Types of Code-switching found in MasterChef Indonesia Season 3
Grand Final
As cited in Romaine 1995, Gumperz 1982: 59 defines the term code- switching
as ‘the juxtaposition within the same speech exchange of passages of speech belonging to two different grammatical systems or sub-
systems’. This definition goes together with Hoffman’s 1991 description on code-switching, ‘it
involves the alternate use of two languages or linguistic varieties within the same utterance or during the same conversation’. The two definitions describe exactly
the phenomena in word utterances done by the juries during the Grand Final of MasterChef Indonesia Season 3. The different but similar definitions of code-
switching from many linguists cause the different types of code-switching and reasons of code-switching proposed by various theorists. The code-switching
31 employed constantly by the three juries during the Grand Final of MasterChef
Indonesia Season 3 is appropriate data to be studied using the theories provided. The researcher categorized the data she obtained into two types: inter-
sentential andintra-sentential code-switching. The result of the classification implied that 50 out of 128 code-switching occurred in the first round of Grand
Final MasterChef Indonesia belonged to the inter-sentential code-switching type. In other words, using the formula provided in the Chapter III, 39.06 of the code-
switching uttered by the juries were categorized as inter-sentential code- switching. Surprisingly, intra-sentential code-switching, which is considered as
“involving the greatest syntactic risk” dominated the occurrence. This type of code-switching occurred 78 times, covering 60.94 of the overall code-switching
being studied. Table 4.1 shows the percentage of inter-sentential and intra- sentential code-switching.

1. Inter-sentential Code-switching Found in MasterChef Indonesia
Season 3 Grand Final
Inter-sentential code-switching occurs when the switch happens between sentences. This definition is strongly supported by Poplack 1980 who describes
inter-sentential code-switching as involving a switch at a clause or sentence
