Abstract

The study deals with the code mixing in HitamPutih Talk Show Program on Trans 7.
The objectives of study were to identify the types of code mixing used, to find out the
most dominant type of code mixing used, and to describe the reasons of the code
mixing used in the talk show. The data consisted of three episodes of HitamPutih
Talk Show on April – October 2014. The findings show that there were 116
insertions (32, 86%), 149 alternations (42, 2%), 88 congruent lexicalizations (24,
92%). The most dominant type of code mixing was alternation becausethe host often
clarified the guest’s statement to make the audience more understand what the guest
said before, so they combined their speech with other language.
