The researcher employs a qualitative method to describe the classifications
and the functions of the switching. This research uses sociolinguistics approach
and purposive sampling technique. The source of data is the movie entitled the
Java Heat and the data is taken from the dialogues in the movie.
Bloom & Gumperz (1972) classifies the types of code switching based on
contextual/ pragmatic approach. They are situational code switching and
metaphorical code switching. The data shows only situational code switching that
appears in the movie. It means that all of the switching happens because of the
change of situations. There are some situations that influence the code switching
such as changing of participants, changing of setting, changing of atmosphere, and
changing of norm of situations. Moreover, Poplack (1980) classifies the types of
code switching based on grammatical approach. They are tag switching, inter
sentential code switching, and intra sentential code switching. The finding shows
that there is no intra sentential code switching.
The analysis shows that there is no metaphorical code switching and intra
sentential code switching involved in the dialogue, which both of refer to code
mixing. It proves that there is no code mixing that appears in the data.
There are 6 functions found in the data which are based on the analysis.
They are: talking about particular topics, interjection, repetition used for
clarification, intention of clarifying, expressing group identity, and addressee. The
researcher concludes that the main function of the switching is to show the
ethnicity and the intimacy between the speakers.
