ABSTRACT

This research aims to analyze the code-switching and code-mixing between Japanese and Indonesian languages used by the basic and intermediate level of Japanese language learners. It also examines the causes of code-switching and code-mixing they made. This research is descriptive qualitative. The data were in the form of recordings collected by note-taking during the discussions with the learners via zoom meetings. The data were analyzed using code-switching theory as proposed by Hoffman (1991). The analysis of the research found 20 internal inter-sentential switching (transition of formal-informal), 4 internal intra-sentential switching (transition of formal-informal), 46 external code-inter-sentential switching (transition of Japanese-Indonesia), 2 external intra-sentential switching (transition of Japanese-Indonesia), 31 code mixing in the form of a word, and 12 code mixing in the form of phrase. The difference in the number of usages of Japanese vocabulary is influenced by various topics of discussion and the length of time spent in learning Japanese. Based on the analysis, code-switching and code-mixing occur more when learners feel unsure to find the appropriate vocabulary and when they feel close to the audience. The results of the research are expected to facilitate students to be more skilled in switching codes during conversations relevant to the situations, conditions in which they are, and the background of speech events.
