Abstract

This study aims: 1) to reveal types of code mixing that appeared in the
Bulan Terbelah di Langit Amerika 2 movie and 2) to fi nd out factors
that cause code mixing in this movie. This study employed a descriptive
qualitative method. In collecting data, this research applied note-taking as
an instrument. To obtain data, the dialogues of the characters were analyzed
thoroughly. Researchers implemented the theory of code-mixing by
Muysken (2000) to fi nd the types and the view of code-mixing factors from
Hoff man (1991) for the analysis. The research results revealed three types
of code mixing contained in this movie. They are insertion type (7 data or
29.17%), alternation type (12 data or 50%), and congruent lexicalization
type (5 data or 20.83%). In addition, factors of code-mixing are also
found in this movie. They are the lexical needs factor (9 data or 37.5%),
emphasize something factor (3 data or 12.5%), talking about a particular
topic factor (5 data or 20.83%), repetition used for clarifi cation factor (2
data or 16.64%), soften or strengthen request or command factor (2 data or
8.33%), and expressing group identity factor (1 data or 4.16%). The most
common form of code-mixing in this fi lm is alternation when one language
is used to fi ll in for another’s lexical gaps throughout a conversation.
They spoke in turn, and researchers found that a single sentence may be
expressed in two languages with vastly diff erent grammatical structures.
