A Study of code-switching used by chinese and javanese sellers at Pasar Atom Surabaya - Digital Collection of Petra Christian University

People are always faced with language choice when they
speak. It is a usual thing when people use two or more languages
in their daily life. Because of using two or more
languages, sometimes they do code switching in their communication.
It is interesting to the writer to study about the
code switching. In this study, the writer analyzes the varieties
that mostly code switch, the proficiency levels, and the
factors that may influence the code switching.
In doing the study, the writer uses the qualitative and
quantitative methods. In this case, the writer focuses more
on descriptive explanations and the numerical explanations.
The writer uses a sociolinguistics approach in analyzing the
data, which means that the writer deals with the social and
the language factors. The participants of this study are the
Chinese and the Javanese sellers at Pasar Atom Surabaya.
The research finds that some of the sellers (Chinese
and Javanese) do code-switching when they are communicating
with the buyers (also from two ethnic groups, Javanese and
Chinese Indonesian). In this case, the writer uses Holmes'
code-switching theory to measure the level of the variety in
doing code-switching, which is divided into word, phrase, and
sentence. The switching is mostly between the Surabaya
Chinese Indonesian variety and the Indonesian variety, the
Javanese variety and the Indonesian variety. Besides, the
sentence level occurs much more frequently than the other
levels.
This study also reveals that the code-switching happens
because of several factors, that is social factors such as
education, age, sex, and so forth. And those factors play a
great role in setting up the code switching.
