ABSTRACT This paper describes about the analysis of code-mixing used in Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The problem that is found in the discussion of this topic is how the workers and passengers of Kuala Lumpur International Airport such as airline officers, information center officers and Malaysian travelers can understand about code-mixing also known as mixing more than one language in a sentence, in this case between Malay language and English language. This problem will be discussed in more detail in this paper. The purpose of writing this paper is to know that code-mixing is used in daily conversation by workers and passengers in Kuala Lumpur International Airport such as airline officers, information center officers and Malaysian travelers. In helping of writing this paper, the author finds the information by reading books from various sources that relate to the topic and doing field research to observe this problem. In conclusion, code-mixing is used in conversation by airline officers, information center officers and Malaysian travelers because of some factors such as bilingualism, speaker and speaking partner, social community, situation, vocabulary, prestige, habit and also because of both languages used by Malaysian communities. iii
