Abstract

Code switching during English interaction happens due to some reasons. One of the world issues in code switching is Singlish or SgE phenomenon. This research is aimed to contribute some findings in discourse particles that are commonly used in SgE interaction through code switching viewpoint. The data were taken from Crazy Rich Asians Novel, written by Singaporean, Kevin Kwan. The theories used in this research are from Lan (2017) which is used to analyze discourse particles in SgE and theory from Appel and Muysken (2006) to analyze type and function of code switching. Descriptive qualitative method is applied in this research. The results show that (1) there are 7 discourse particles found in this research: Alamak, Lah, Aiyah, Aiyoh, Hiyah, Ah, Mah. The most frequently used particles are lah (29%) and alamak (29%). (2) Based on the types of code switching, from 42 data, it was found that 24 data (58%) are categorized intra-sentential types, meanwhile tag switching and inter-sentential type are found in 9 data (21%) for each. (3) The function of code switching in SgE interaction of using particle are expressive and phatic functions. It can be concluded that code switching used in Singlish interaction is to express feeling, for example shock and dismay and to show solidarity among the speakers.
