8 ABSTRACT Code switching is a strategy of using two or more languages in the same utterance. It is a common phenomenon for bilinguals or even multilinguals. Empat Mata, which is a broadcast TV program, hosted by Tukul Arwana in Trans 7, is used as the research object about code switching in this study. The purpose of this study is to find out the kinds and functions of code switching in Empat Mata talk show. In analyzing the kinds and functions of code switching in Empat Mata talk show, the writer combines both qualitative and quantitative methods. Based on the result of this research, it is found that there are four kinds of code switching in Empat Mata talk show, such as situational, metaphorical, intersentential, and intrasentential code switching. In addition, the writer also finds that the functions of code switching in Empat Mata talk show are to express participant s solidarity and status, topic switch, and affective functions. Besides, English, Chinese, Padangnese, Acehnese, and Javanese are the languages used in code switching in Empat Mata talk show. The result shows that English is the language, which is most frequently used. The host and some other conversants often switch into English incorrectly in order to create an amusing situation. In addition, they also often switch into English by inserting some English words in the middle of an Indonesian sentence to cover their inability in speaking English. viii

9 ABSTRAK Alih kode adalah suatu strategi penggunaan dua bahasa atau lebih dalam tutur yang sama. Alih kode adalah suatu fenomena umum bagi orang orang yang dapat berbicara dalam dua bahasa atau lebih. Empat Mata, sebuah program televisi yang dipandu oleh Tukul Arwana dan disiarkan oleh Trans 7, digunakan sebagai obyek dalam penelitian tentang alih kode ini. Tujuan dari skripsi ini adalah untuk menemukan jenis dan fungsi alih kode dalam acara Empat Mata. Dalam menganalisa jenis dan fungsi alih kode di acara Empat Mata, penulis mengkombinasikan metode penelitian kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Berdasarkan hasil dari penelitian ini, ditemukan empat jenis alih kode yang ada di acara Empat Mata, yaitu, situational, metaphorical, intersentential, dan intrasentential. Sebagai tambahan, penulis juga menemukan fungsi fungsi alih kode yang ada dalam acara Empat Mata, yaitu untuk mengekspresikan solidaritas dan status penutur, mengalihkan topik pembicaraan, dan beberapa fungsi afektif. Disamping itu, bahasa Inggris, China, Padang, Aceh, dan Jawa adalah bahasa bahasa yang digunakan dalam alih kode di acara Empat Mata. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa bahasa Inggris adalah bahasa yang paling sering digunakan dalam alih kode. Pembawa acara dan beberapa penutur lain sering berpindah ke bahasa Inggris secara sembarangan untuk membuat suasana menjadi lucu. Selain itu, mereka juga sering menyisipkan beberapa kata dalam bahasa Inggris di tengah tengah sebuah kalimat berbahasa Indonesia untuk menutupi kekurangan mereka dalam menggunakan bahasa Ingris. ix
