Abstract

Code switching and code mixing as the phenomena in the field of sociolinguistics are commonly found both orally and in the written form, especially in the multilingual film such as Tokyo Fiancée. This paper aims to: (1) analyse and describe the code switching and code mixing in the film Tokyo Fiancée by Stefan Liberski; (2) analyse and describe the types of utterances code switching and code mixing in the film Tokyo Fiancée by Stefan Liberski; (3) identify the influential factors of code switching and code mixing in the film. Descriptive qualitative was employed as a research design of this study with data cards as the research instruments adapted from the theories of Poplack (1980), Muysken (2000), Suwito (1983, 1985) and Eunhee (2006). The findings of this study revealed that the movie used three languages in oral speech such as Japanese, French, and English. Among those oral speeches, there were 69 utterances containing code switching that is included in three types, namely tag-switching, inter-sentential switching and intra-sentential switching. Then, these 39 utterances covered code mixing that is included in five types, namely insertion code mixing, alternation code mixing, congruent lexicalization code mixing, inner code mixing and outer code mixing. The results of this study may act as an alternative reference related to teaching materials, particularly in sociolinguistic course discussing about code switching and code mixing.
