Campur kode sebagai strategi komunikasi santai
Kajian sosiolinguistik
Abstract
The phenomenon of language separation is one of the linguistic characteristics that often appears in the interactions of communities with two languages, especially in daily communication. Language separation occurs when an individual inserts elements from another language into the main language being used. The purpose of this study is to explore the forms and functions of language separation as an casual communication strategy in the sentence, "Guys, don't forget the assignment deadline tonight." The method used in this study is qualitative with a descriptive approach. The data obtained consisted of language units containing elements of separation from Indonesian and English. The data analysis process was carried out using a sociolinguistic approach, referring to the theory of language separation proposed by Muysken. The research results show that this sentence contains a type of code-switching in the form of insertion, which is the addition of English lexical elements such as "guys" and "deadline" into the structure of an Indonesian sentence. The use of code-switching in this context serves as a strategy for casual communication to create a friendly, relaxed, and effective nuance in conveying information, especially in interactions among university students. Therefore, code-switching not only reflects the speaker's bilingual ability but also serves as a way to adapt speech to certain social situations.
